At Miss A's 3 year check up everything went great until the hearing test. She failed, then failed again and again (different follow-ups) We were referred to an Audiologist she failed that screening which then brought us to Dr. Gerber (who came highly recommended with the added bonus that my nephew had just
been to him and had tubes put it). Miss A met with the audiologist first. She did a few different test, Miss A was struggling to hear. She thought of one more thing to try on Miss A. It was a set of head phones
that shot the noise past the middle ear. And ta-da! Miss A could hear. We were so glad to find that
it wasn't permanent ear damage but fluid and other ear gunk not leaving her middle ear.
The surgery was set for March 1.
Here she is in her room - admiring her wrist band.

is it time yet?
and after the surgery, not feeling so good coming out of the anesthesia
she kept complaining of her throat and how much it hurt. About a half hour back in her
room, she threw up. Luckily I have cat like reflexes and was able to catch it
in a cup...and again and again.
On our way home - she fell asleep right after these pictures were taken
Her speech has already come such a LONG way. It's amazing what a little set of ear tubes can do.
