PE Tubes

Sorry for the long gap between posts, it's been rather hectic around the homestead for the last few weeks. Today was a big day...Kayla had PE tubes (ear tubes) put in this morning. She is doing great so far, she is such a trooper! After all that she has been through in the last almost nine months, she amazes me with her resiliance! She went back with the nurses and didn't even let out a peep...Mommy on the other hand cried as soon as she left. Not 15 minutes later the Dr came out and got me. She was really fussy then, but calmed down about 20 minutes later. He was able to drain out all the fluid in both ears and said she did in fact have an infection still in there so she's on drops for a few days. We hope and pray that this is the last surgery this little girl ever has to go through. It won't get rid of her reflux, but I'm hoping that it will give her some relief to the pain and the constant fevers and she will be able to sleep soundly now and give her body a chance to grow! She is still so tiny and still fits in most 3 month clothes while Kamryn is now wearing 9 month old clothes!! Poor Kayla is destined to get Kamryn's hand-me-downs for the time being!!

Kamryn continues to do well, she's eating and sleeping great! She pretty much sleeps through the night with an occasional wakeup here and there, but she's a very easy baby so I can't complain! Our night nanny is scheduled to become our day nanny next week so I'm hoping the PE tubes work wonders and both girls can finally get a good nights rest!!
