ari's "surgery"

ariana had her 2 year check up shortly after her birthday in may. it all went well she is growing like she should be. then the dr looked in her ears. he said it looked like she had a piece of plastic next to her ear drum. one of the nurses brought in a bottle of water and sprayed it in her ear to try to get the "thing" out. didn't work so he told us to make an appointment at the ENT (ear nose throat) place down the hall. when that appt came, the dr looked in her ear and asked if she had an ear infection lately. i told him it had been a couple months. he said her ear drum probly burst and in healing it left a piece of infection that mineralized and became basically an ear booger but it needed to be removed anyway. he prescribed ear drops so we used those and went back for a check up a week later. it was still in her ear so she was scheduled for "surgery". the 12th we went to the treasure valley hospital and they got all the paper work done and finally took her back to give her laughing gas and put her to sleep so they could safely pull the booger out without her squirming. it ended up being just a glob of wax and she was out for about 5 minutes and then allowed to wake up. the nurse said usually kids cry coming out of being asleep. not ari, she smiled and looked around and within a couple minutes i had her back and gave her a glass of milk since she was so hungry and theres been no problems since then. she still doesn't listen so the ear wax wasn't the problem with her listening to me ;)
