No more plugs...

This past week, Bella had a check-up with her ear doctor.  It's been a year and a half since she had her tubes put in, so we had to go in so he could have a look at how she was doing.  We got great news...she no longer has to wear her ear plugs.  The tubes have finally seperated from the ear drum and he said they should fall out anytime in the next few months.  I won't be able to tell when they fall out since they are so small, but she goes back in 4 months just to make sure everyhing is ok.  It hasn't really been much of a battle to get her to let me put the ear plugs in.  She's been wearing them since she was almost a year old, so she was used to them.  But in the last few weeks, she hasn't liked it one bit when I put them in.  Come to find out, it was putting air pressure on her ear drum since the tube has seperated.  It will just be nice not to have to put them in before every bath or shower and not to have to make sure I remember to take them with if we go swimming or to a water park, etc.  The tubes were a blessing and I'm so glad we went through the process of having them put in.  They have helped tremendously.  Let's just pray she doesn' have anymore problems in the future.

Until next time...
