The snow is driving us all mad! We are both stir crazy and starting to get on each others' nerves. Appointments keep having to be cancelled and rescheduled but we did make it to the ear doctor last week. A long visit in short, her tubes are still in place and we just need to wait until they fall out to see if she needs new ones. He said cleft palate repairs usually have tubes until age 4 or 5.
Then the tubes came in handy this weekend as she had a fever for 4 days straight and whenever she woke up, she kept saying her right ear hurt. After 4 days, I finally gave in and went to the walk-in clinic. The ear was red but didn't look infected yet. She said that the tubes probably prevented the accumulation of fluid from this viral cold. She finally woke up yesterday without a fever! She's still a little lethargic, but obviously felt better as she wouldn't go to sleep last night because she had 4 days of energy pent up. It's good to know that my kid isn't any more contagious than all the other snotty, drooly, coughy, sneezy little kids out there! Hahaha!
I think we have earned a Chapters date today!
