Tube time

We saw the ENT today, and Eden's going to have tubes placed in her ears next week.

It's tough to think about her having surgery, but she has had signs of ear fluid affecting her hearing, speech, and overall health and well-being for over four months now.  Everyone I speak with says this is the right call.  I'm really happy about it, though I know the day will be hard.  The ENT didn't seem to have any reservations about it given her history:

-fluid actually observed on four separate doctor's appointments
-signs of it affecting her speech (regressing on sounds, not perceiving certain sounds)
-signs of it affecting her hearing (mild abnormality on hearing tests, others observing sound localization issues)
-family history of tubes
-persistence of the fluid over 3+ months

Please keep Eden in your thoughts and prayers and wish her r'fua shlema (complete healing) after her surgery the morning of 10/31!
