Ear Update Part II
We made the journey to Birmingham yesterday to Children's South to see the Pediatric ENT. He was very nice. The infections in both ears have cleared, but the right ear still shows signs of fluid so we will be going on Monday to get tubes. He said we could wait, but given her age she would most likely battle ear infections off and on again if we do not go ahead and get tubes. Should be pretty routine, but Kylie will have to go a specialized form of anethesia. Due to the fact that muscular dystrophy runs so strongly in my family, the Doc said the anethesialogist will need to take some extra precautions. We all fill out medical histories all the time and honestly I have never had to worry about anything, but since she is so little they highly recommend the specialized treatment. So instead of getting the tubes at the outpatient center at Children's South, we will have to take Kylie to the main Children's Hospital in downtown Bham for the procedure. The ENT is supposed to call tomorrow and let us know what time to be there. We should still be in and out in a day.
