Tubes

Back at the beginning of January at Collins' 9 month appointment we discovered that my sweet girl had an ear infection. After 6 antibiotics since then she got tubes this morning. There was so much fluid in her ears that she had moderate to severe hearing loss. By Gods good grace I'm positive that today my baby hears clearly for the first time in months. She was a champ this morning. We had the greatest nurse ever. (thank you Peggy!) the nurses in recovery wanted to keep her.

Today has been interesting. Everyday noises startle her. When we got home Brian started his truck and she nearly jumped out of my arms. I'm thankful. I've laughed today at her playing with toys that make sounds with an all new wonder. She's lived her life muted for months.

We go back to the doctor march 21 to retest her hearing. I'm looking forward to a positive visit.
