Hannah

Hannah saw the ENT again today. He said that she must have just been having a good day the last time he saw her because her ears are bad again. Sooo, we scheduled her Myringotomy with Tympanostomy Tubes (ear tubes) and Adenoidectomy for July 31st. The ENT said that the tubes should last about 2 years (there are 6 month, 2 and 5 year tubes) and she needs to be seen every 6 months to check her progress. The surprise here is that she has to have her adenoids out. The ENT thinks that those are why her ears are clogged and aren't draining. He also said that it should help considerably with her asthma. She's scared about it all but the ENT told her that she gets to have ice cream after (I thought that was for tonsils!) so she's excited about that.

I hope this works.
