the tubes are in...!

Isabelle had tubes placed in both ears on last Wednesday. It was a much faster operation than I imagined. It was so fast I didnt have time to worry (that much). She has been a happier kid since the surgery and we are really hoping it continues to provide her relief from the pain of fluid and infections. Below are a couple pictures from the hospital and one with her spiffy new hat that she got for Valentines Day from Grandma Chris.

TUBES!

The ear infections have got the best of us! Isabelle goes to Mercy Hospital on Wednesday to have tubes in her ears. We are very hopeful that things will go well and that she will come out of it a happier baby. She has had an ear infection or fluid in her ear for nearly 3 months and has been on antibiotic for the last month straight. With any luck the procedure will eliminate the fluid, the pain and the need for antiobiotics. Aside from the ear infections things are going well, Isabelle as 3 teeth and loves to crawl, it is amazing how fast she can get away from me.

more new tricks

Isabelle is now crawling all over the place, she is curious about everything and really interested in touching /tasting anything she can find. She is pulling her self up on anything she can get her hands on, including the rails of her crib. We go to see the ENT doctor this week about the fluid in her ears and wether or not tubes are appropriate.

Ear infections are fun....

Isabelle is having a tough couple of weeks. Her second ear infection turned into a double ear infection, it cleared, and came back (a little). The infections were cleared as of this morning. But she still has fluid in her ears and it causes her some discomfort. Next week are going to and earn, nose and throat doctor, unfortunately TUBES may be in Isabelle's future. We dont want to her to have any surgery, but if it makes her feel better we would be excited to get it done. Isabelle is pushing 23 lbs and now has 3 teeth (more like 2.25 but #3 is coming).
