Girl with the Yellow Gown

In an effort to bid adieu to ear infections for good and ward off potential hearing difficulties in the future, our little Noemi had tubes put in her ears this morning. We decided to go ahead with the procedure after finding out that she had substantial fluid built up behind her eardrums. Yuck.

Our girlie did great and was in and out in less than two hours total. It was an early morning, but we were home in time for breakfast and a long nap. The procedure went as smooth as pie and we were especially relieved when we found out that she had a cyst in her left ear that was removed during the surgery. Hmmm...explains the fingers in the ears for as long as we have known her. What a champ. Despite being instantly freaked out at this point by people in scrubs or white coats coming at her with shiny things, Noemi tolerated the poking and prodding well. And how cute was she in her little yellow gown and ankle ID band? A special thank you to our friend, Monkey, for providing love and comfort when the going gets rough.
