Tubes x3

We were referred to the pediatric ENT once again for Maeve's ears.  Upon first look, it appeared she had a tear in her eardrum.  After looking at them under a more powerful microscope, the specialist could tell there was no tear, just extreme fluid.  So, round three of tubes was prescribed.

What better day than Good Friday to endure a little pain.  Painful early morning on our first day off, painful traffic, painful listening to Maeve bellow when having to take medicine.  But, that was the extent of our pain.  Maeve, being the trooper she is, took it like a champ.  We experienced a tiny little God moment when the nurse practictioner who was caring for her sprang forth into our room exclaiming, "Are you the parents of Maeve McCullers? I have a daughter named Maeve!"  In the four years that we have been Maeve's parents, never have we met anyone who has declared this.  So, my nerves instantly calmed as I knew that was God's reminder to me, "Julie, I've got this.  She is going to be just fine."

And He did, and she was!  I got to walk her into the OR and be there with her until the anesthia kicked in.  She was gone from us for about 10 minutes tops.  And woke up saying, "My ears aren't crackling anymore."
