Joining the club

The tubes club......
Well, Kenzee has had an ear infection pretty much since school started. She had been through six rounds of antibiotics before she was referred to the ENT. They tested her hearing and said she was definitely not hearing like she should but the nerve didn't have any damage yet. With the hearing loss and multiple antibiotics she was a candidate for the surgery. Kenzee was very excited to go to the M hospital (Methodist) and get her tubes in so she could hear. (She told everyone she saw) Chad, Grammy, and I took her in Tuesday morning and waited and waited and waited. They finally took her back, gave her Versed (?), and watched her for an hour. Then they took her off to surgery. It only took about 10 minutes and we met her in a recovery room. Unfortunately she was not happy. She tore her scrubs off and refused to put any clothes on. She was screaming and kicking the glass doors trying to get out. About an hour and 3 nurses later, we got some clothes on her and were on our way. Here's a couple pics from the day

Sounds like she was so brave going into it! Sorry you had to deal with that though, Kelly.

Awe, bless her heart. Hopefully this will help. Sorry she had such a rough go in the end. I'm sure you are very glad it's over.

Tell Kenzee she is like her cousin Maddie now with the ear tubes. We understand how traumatic of a day this is and even more so I think for Daddy and Mommy! However, it is amazing how healthy she will be now! Call me if you have any questions!
