Poor Baby

As everyone knows Emma has had some issues with her ears. They started on Halloween and have been ongoing since then. Emma has had 4 ear infections and fluid in her ears off and on. This has resulted in her being on antibiotics, not sleeping through the night, having a runny nose, fluid not draining, and clogged tear ducts. We have consulted with an ENT twice and Monday Ray took her for another checkup with our ENT, he decided that our Emma needs tubes.

Emma will have the procedure at 7:00 a.m. this Friday. We are a little apprehensive as any parent would be when their child has to have surgery, but we are confident in her doctor's abilities. We hope that the tubes will resolve her ear issues and allow her to sleep through the night.

We will post again on Friday after the procedure to let everyone know how she is doing. We want to thank all of our friends and family who have given us their guidance and support.

Brandie's feet have been hurting off and on for over a year. They surprisingly got better while she was pregnant with Emma, but recently started hurting really bad. We went to the podiatrist today, and they diagnosed her with Plantar fascitis. The treatment consists of either getting cortisone shots in her feet or injecting her own platelets from her blood into her feet. Either way, she is not looking forward to it. As a temporary measure, they taped her feet up like a ballerina to help with the pressure.
