A week of appointments...

Today we began the first of three appointments for Lily this week. Today she had her ENT follow up. The placing of ear tubes in December was rather overshadowed by her palate surgery, but yes both procedures had been done in one fell swoop.

The good news is that her left ear looks great. The bad news is that the tube in her right ear has fallen out already. It was confirmed that she has fluid in that ear again which means she has dampened hearing in that ear. :-(

The good news is that research has shown that normal hearing in one ear is enough for non school age children to acquire language and speech. Hopefully the other ear tube will stay in longer.

Tomorrow we are off to the pediatric surgeon. Lily has hernias that need to be surgically repaired. It is just a consultation tomorrow, and I will report back with more info.

Please pray for Lily. And me. I feel anxious thinking about all the medical stuff! Thursday we meet with early start in Santa Clara county to have her speech evaluated.

Photos of our trek in San Francisco and then of the happy patient :-). She was not thrilled though with someone looking in and probing her ears.
