Tubes for Georgia

I took Georgia back to the ENT on Tuesday and, just as I had suspected, she had ANOTHER ear infection. Basically she's had 1 ear infection that started October 28th and never went away. She's been on 7 rounds of antibiotics that didn't do anything so the ENT said "let's do tubes" and I thought "FINALLY!" So yesterday Georgia went in for surgery and got tubes in both ears. The doctor said there was so much fluid and the ears looked so bad that he put in larger tubes that will stay in longer than the normal ones. By mid morning I could start to tell a difference in Georgia and by the afternoon she was like a different child. She seems so much happier and obviously feels a lot better. Yesterday and today she has been content playing on her own and almost acting giddy. This morning she was pretending to be a baby and was crawling everywhere and then she started organizing her toys by animals. First she put all the bears together and then she put the turtles together and so on. I'm amazed in the difference the tubes have made.

Here's right after we got home from the hospital. A bit tired and sore.

Here she is later in the day trying on hats and getting rides from dad.

I wanted to get a picture of Ben and Georgia the other morning but Georgia kept making this face every time I took the picture. Instead of trying to get her to smile, Ben made the same face that she was doing so here's what we ended up with.

Georgia's starting to put 2 words together pretty often. Night-night baby, help please, right there, etc. Last night she was so tired after getting up early, having surgery and not getting a long enough nap, that by 7:30 came to me and said "night-night please".
