Gearing up for our first surgery

After recurrent ear infections and constant ear tugging, we took Avery for an ENT consult. It was timely, as she had yet another ear infection. It was highly recommended that we get tubes put in Avery's ears. The doctor we met with is also the surgeon that would perform the surgery. After about 30 minutes of questions, we concurred with him to put tubes in Avery's ears. She will get them on Tuesday June 12th. Mommy and Daddy are nervous, but we have heard so many fantastic stories about the positive effects of tubes that we know this is the right decision. Many people have told us that it will be harder on us than on her. She will get put to sleep for four minutes for the procedure to take place, and we have heard that the worst part is the hour or so after she wakes up (just from being disoriented and dizzy).

Many prayers and thoughts would be appreciated on Tuesday morning!!!
