Another Surgery for Emmie

Emmie has been having a lot of ear pain in her right ear.

She has a pretty high pain tolerance with her history of sickness, so when she

was calling me from school, a couple of times a week, I knew something was wrong.

I would take her to her doctor and her ear wasn't infected.  That's when I knew we needed to

get her back to her ENT specialist.

We went and saw Dr. Robins and sure enough, her right ear tube was not sitting

where it needed to be and her ear would pop all the time, causing her a lot of pain.

She went in last Thursday for surgery to have the old ear tubes removed and new ones put in.

This was her 5th set of ear tubes.  She has also had sinus surgery and her adenoids removed.

Luckily, Emmie doesn't mind surgery and ever since she was a baby, she has been the

type of patient that wakes up happy - even giggly after surgery. 

 Here is this cute girl after she got dressed into the hospital PJ's 

and they gave her a new pet snake to hold.

 This is her right after they wheeled her back from surgery.  Told you she was always happy :)

 

She was feeling great when we got home.  She was even inspired to practice her

surgery skills and started operating on her stuffed animals.

Her giant pillow pet had it's appendix removed.  

 She had a line of patients out the door.  She must be good!
