Hooray............. hopefully, we can say goodbye to ear problems.
Since birth, Haylee has had one ear infection after another. To be honest, she never has been a very happy baby. She did not cry all the time, but, she was not eager to go to anyone and play. It was probably because she was in pain all along. Imagine....... almost 8 months of not feeling good!
Well, today Mitch, Amy and myself took her in for out patient surgery where they put tubes in her ears for drainage. We all thought that she would be hard to deal with in the morning because she could not eat or drink after midnight. So, Amy nursed her just before midnight and she fell asleep. She was still sleeping when they arrived at the hospital and fortunately, due to her age, she was the first scheduled surgery for the day. They came and carried her out and said that they would bring her back into the room for Amy to nurse her as soon as she woke up in recovery. In no time, she was alert and back in the room.
We noticed right away that her hearing was better, because as she started nursing, Mitch and I began to talk. She jerked her head around to look at us. Even though we were using low voices, they were loud to her.
Hay Hay, you are Mimi's little doll baby. You did such a great job!
Now, everyone comments on what a good baby she is. She smiles all the time and will even let Pop Pop and Grandpa play with her now! We cannot believe the change, it has been like Day and Night!
We are so glad that you are off to a whole new start!
