A has been very very sick for over a month. Double ear infection that won't go away. Her tubes that she got less than a year ago fell out which we weren't aware of until we went to the pedi about 3 or 4 weeks ago. After a round of antibiotics which did nothing, he referred us tot he ENT. So the ENT examined her and did 2 x-rays of her head. He told us that her adenoids are enlarged and that her sinuses are filled with puss plus the ear infections. Yuck! I feel terrible for her. I can't imagine how bad she must feel. It does explain alot about her behavior lately. I asked her many times if her ears hurt and she would say no. I guess she had felt so bad for so long that she couldn't tell me what hurt. I knew something was not right though so this was confirmation of that. She doesn't always run a fever with an ear infection so it can be a real tough to figure out that she is sick. Sometimes it appears that she is just being grumpy and defiant. She really is a sweet child so next time she starts acting like that we will be off to the pedi.
So she will have surgery for her third set of tubes, an adenoidectomy and a sinus irrigation. Hopefully after this she will feel normal again. Surgery will be 4/1.
