Surgery for Tressa tomorrow

BILATERAL MYRINGOTOMY WITH INSERTION OF TYMPANOSTOMY TUBES WITH FLIES....... in our terms, she is getting tubes in her ears.

It is an outpatient procedure which is required because her ear infections are not responding to antibiotics and so much antibiotic is not good for all her other body germs... so we need to do this. It is simple although with PWS having her go to Sedation can be more complicated. I faxed over the MEDICAL ALERT to place in her file for the caution..

It is always scary signing when the form says

The possibility of death is extremely rare.... because lord knows we see lots of extremely rare things with Miss Tressa on a daily basis.. so pray it is simple, in and out with a quick recovery off the sedation.

Today she told me she is talking so much because if she "be's quiet" her heart goes up to her ear ......her explanation of pain. She feels the throbbing.

We are off to get scripts filled, go pick up the new glasses!!! YIIIPPPPEEEE that sure took long enough. I think we will start discussing the packing for Seattle today.. It is much colder there than here and she is much bigger to all the things from past trips no longer fit.
