Always good reading material at the doctor's office

Emmy has had ear infections pretty steadily since October so when we went to her twelve month checkup, the doctor referred us to an ENT. They have decided it is time to give her tubes for her little munchkin ears. Friday, we went to the ENT and the surgery is scheduled for March 14th. We are pretty nervous, but hope that her speech will just blossom after this. We shall see.

I told Emmy when we were in the bathroom at the doctor's office that her Yia Yia would not have let me do this to her. When I was her age, the doctors wanted to take out my tonsils and Momma refused because I was so little. Later as I had so many bouts of tonsillitis and strep throat, I always blamed her. Momma told me once, jokingly of course, that she wanted to wait until I was able to pay for it myself so that I could really appreciate it. Hysterical! I wanted to go ahead and do this so that she doesn't have trouble later and wish we had helped her in this way. But we can't help but be nervous. She's our munchkin. Our tater. Our doodoo. We love her so much.
