ENT Doctor Appointment

Today we went to the ENT doctor to talk about ear tubes. Janna was such a good girl. I was so proud of her. She didn’t need her burp rag/blankie (she calls it baby) or pacifier.
Janna stood on the big kid scale while holding my hand. She was quiet and smiling as the doctor looked at her ears and listened to her chest. She didn’t open her mouth at first but did after a bit. She didn’t scream or fuss once the whole time at the office. Yeah Janna. She got a lolly pop for her good behavior

I was very impressed with the office. In the waiting room they had a separate room for children with a play kitchen and house with doors and window. Also it had a TV with Disney Channel playing. Back where the doctor talked to us was a whole room for children. It had Sesame Street characters on the walls and a firetruck exam table that has doors that opened. Janna was very happy opening the door pulling out the magazine and putting it back. It made the waiting time go by fast.


The doctor and all the staff were very nice and made everything so smoothly. After looking in Janna’s ears he said there was fluid stuck behind her ear and that was the reason she was getting so many infections. He said Yes she does need tubes. He answered all our questions and addressed our concerns.

Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday November 20th in the morning. We find out the exact time the day before. They take the youngest patients first starting at 6am. They will use a mask and she will be under for about 10minutes (the time it takes to do the surgery). Then she will be brought right back to us and in recovery for about an hour. Then we can take her home. After about two hours she will be back to herself. Isaac and I know this is the right decision and know this will make Janna happier and healthier. We trust that all will good well. I will try and update the blog about the time of the surgery, but I ask for prayer on November 20th morning that everything goes smoothly.

Lord please protect my little monster during surgery and give us peace as we wait during it.
