Brave girl!

Ava's ear tubes surgery went very well this morning. We had to be there at 7:30am and the surgery was from 8:30am-8:45am. It is a very quick and easy procedure, and Ava did very well. Dr. Correa (her ENT) said that her left ear was particularly bad, with very thick yellow fluid inside her middle ear. He said that he is glad we decided to go ahead with the procedure, because it never would have gotten better without sucking out the fluid and putting in the tubes. We're so relieved!

Ava spent 30 minutes in the recovery room and now she is home and doing fine. Dr. Correa said she should be back to "normal" by tomorrow, but I told him that she has been sick for so long that we don't even know what "normal" is for her anymore! We're really looking forward to her feeling better and *hopefully* (fingers crossed!) walking very soon!
