Tubes

Since the beginning of January Aspen has had a horrible time with ear infections. She has a lot of fluid in her ears and antibiotics just don't seem to be helping much. She's been on 5 different antibiotics in the past two months. I hate having to give her so many antibiotics because of the risk of building immunities to them. But she's been in a lot of pain lately. So today we went back to the doctor again. The doctor said that she really needs to have tubes put in her ears. I figured that is probably what he would say since she has had such a problem the past few months. She used to be such a great sleeper and now she is waking up a lot. She used to eat great and she hasn't been eating much lately either. She was up to 21 lbs and today she barely weighed 20lbs (20 lbs 2oz with clothes and shoes on).

I'm not worried about the procedure at all. Max had tubes and it's a pretty simple surgery. I'm not sure when it will happen though. I have to make her initial ENT appointment first.

Poor Aspen. Good luck at the ENT. Hopefully they can get you guys in fast so she can get some relief.
