Paige had to have surgery to put tubes in her ears yesterday. For those who don't know, she has had five ear infections in her left ear since June. The first one was so severe that the infection spread to the mastoid bone (in her head) and we spent four days in the hospital to recieve antibiotics. We visited the ENT (ears, nose, and throat) specialist a couple weeks ago and she discovered that Paige has an inverted ear drum. Basically there is pressure inside her ear that is sucking the ear drum in, causing it to be prone to infection and hindering her hearing on that side. Finally it made sense why she was always having infections on the left side and never on the right. Her surgery went very smoothly but of course I had to take pictures. Here she is in her gown right before going in for surgery.
