How Hot is Hot?

Temperature in my house?  78 degrees
Temperature outside of my house?   79 degrees
Temperature outside my house yesterday?  89 degrees
Temperature in my house last night while I was trying to fall asleep?  77 degrees
Temperature of Anna Grace?  103.1 degrees

It was a long night.

To have the windows open would be nice and refreshing if there were actually a breeze.  To have it be in the high 80’s outside would be lovely if we had air conditioning.  To have a child who cannot sleep and is burning up regardless of the weather is just miserable.

I took Little Miss to the doctor today to confirm my suspicions… another ear infection (actually a continually unresolving ear infection) that now requires the expertise of the ENT.  In other words, she’s getting tubes in her ears.

I’m totally bummed out about this.  It is an easy surgery, it will help her out so much but I just don’t want to have one more person that we have to see, tell our story to, keep appointments with, etc.    I just don’t.  I will, but I don’t want to.  I don’t want to have to bring one more professional person into our lives.

To quote Anna Grace….

All done.  All done.  All done. Aaaaaaaaallllllllll done!

  1. We held off on tubes for Gracie (‘course she got ’em at 4 after all). We got them early with Owen and he has had 2 sets. However, even with the tubes he had infections which were eventually treated with antibiotics specific to his infection–yup they drew slime out of his ear. Have you considered that?

  2. My son was plauged by ear infections and lots of fluid in the ear as a toddler. Found a great ENT who put my son on low-dosage prophylactic antibiotics and recommended restricting all citrus, dairy foods and wheat, which are all very mucus producing. After a few months, the fluid was cleared up and he never had another ear infection. (and he was able to eat citrus/dairy/wheat once again).
