Tubes!

It has been a wild ride for Zoey since before Christmas... today, she got tubes in her ears! Poor baby has been on five rounds of antibiotics, one of which was a series of shots that she haaaaated... none of them worked. When it got around to the 5th round, her pediatrician said she will have to get tubes because... well... there was NO antibiotic left... she's had them all.

Nice.

Good news is surgery was a breeze! They had to use a larger hose to suction her ears because she had so much thick gunk behind her ear drum... it wasn't just fluid. It was a very quick procedure and she recovered well. So well, in fact, she took a SIPPY CUP from the hospital with REAL MILK in it... like a champ. Not formula... MILK. Girlfriend has been throwing tantrums at home when we offer her a cup over a bottle and we have every cup on the market... except this one. Not sure why this cup was more interesting... maybe she was desperate for a drink... but she took it and it's a toddler hard-top cup. I don't understand it and don't even care... she's off the bottle as of today! :) I'm so relieved to not have to wash the 459849608596 parts to her Dr Brown's bottles anymore...

Looks like our ear troubles are finally over!!
