Well, we knew it was coming...Just didn't think it was going to come this fast...We had an appointment with Dr. Manning (an ENT) on May 31st and everyone said that he was the best up here. We were lucky to get rushed in. At the appointment with him both kids had a hearing test done. It was really neat to see how that worked. Brady passed his, Bria failed. They said that it was really hard to do it with younger kids though. She turned when she heard the voices but not the noises...So, after Dr. Manning evaluated both kids and he saw the doctor's notes (Bria having 7 ear infections & Brady having 5) he decided that they were both going to benefit from having tubes put in their ears. What was really ironic though, was when Bria started talking he asked us how long she had been hoarse??? We had no idea what he was talking about?? We told him that was her voice, she just has a raspy voice...He seemed concerned and told us that while Bria was under getting tubes he wanted to do a scope on her throat and check things out. Of course, we were worried...I was VERY on edge...We figured it would take at least a week to be able to get in to have the surgery, but he rearranged his schedule and squeezed us in THE VERY NEXT MORNING! We were just not prepared for that! YIKES! Deep breath...deep breath...No food past midnight (going to be VERY difficult) with Bria and difficult with Brady around breakfast...Needless to say that wasn't as bad as we thought...
But, once we were back in pre-op both kids got VERY antsy...VERY...It was really hard to keep both kids distracted for 2 hours...ESP when netflix kept freezing up on the iphone! NOT GOOD!

Thank goodness ALL IS WELL! The scope on Bria's throat turned out great and there was nothing to be concerned with...She is just going to have a raspy voice...Takes after her MOMMA! HA! And, now they both have tubes and HOPEFULLY no more ear infections!! Fingers crossed!!!! Thank goodness we got good news and the good Lord was on our side with the surgery. We are blessed to have had everything go so smoothly!
