Kacy's Ear Surgery

My little Kacy will have surgery to get tubes in her ears on Thursday. I sure hope that this will make her a little happier. She has been pretty grumpy the last month or so, and I hope that her ears are the source of her troubles! I always thought that people got tubes too much, that it was an overdone surgery and an "easy" fix. When Kacy had her ENT appointment, the doctor said that if there a child ever has more than 6 ear infections in a calendar year, there is not much else you can do but get tubes or wait for her own tubes to form properly. Most all of my friends that waited to get tubes and tried different things, usually ended up with them anyway. They always seemed to say that they wish they would have gotten them sooner, too. With summer coming to an end and a new school year approaching, I sure would like for Kacy to avoid so many ear infections this year, and I also worry about her hearing being affected. I also think that all the antibiotics are messing with her stomach and her appetite, and nobody wants an upset stomach all the time! I know it's an easy surgery, so I hope that she'll come out of it and be just fine!
