Today we went to see the ENT specialist for her most recent follow-up for her tubes. Well, it was the LAST! They has migrated far enough down teh ear canal that he could just reach in an grab them (with some very interesting forceps). Bonus, he used a scope that had a video camera in it and we got to watch him do everything on a big screen mounted to the wall of the room.
On top of that, the pressure test showed that, even without the tubes in place, fluid was not building up and she was draining normally. It helps taht she has a bit of an earn infection and a mild case of tonsillitis right down, because he could really see the draining occurring. All in all, that news was well worth the over 2 hours we spent at the office.
So, we're keeping her tubes. I'll clean them off at work and either put them on a string or in a bottle for posterity. They may look a little gross now, but they are Teflon and should clean up nicely...and I do have access to a sonicator and plenty of solvents at work...
We capped off the evening with the first Dollar Night of the season at Covaleski Field. We got to see Mayor Joe as we were waiting in line. He's fantastic there, actually helping people carry their food and wrangle kids. You won't see George Steinbrenner doing that when the Yankees play. I'm glad he's involved with the organization and is committed to keeping the Silver Hawks in South bend. Anyway...Emma enjoyed the 3 innings of the ball game that we could stay for. She got to hug Swoop, eat ballpark food, win a frisbee, and dance and clap to the music.
