Tomorrow Is The Day

We just got the call from our doctor's office and they are so awesome! They worked so hard to get the girls in earlier and they did - they go in for surgery tomorrow at noon. Although Delilah doesn't go completely under, I guess she is under the same regimen as Mikayla and neither can have anything to eat after midnight. So my plan is to have them take a nap this afternoon and then let them stay up till around ten or 10:30 pm so they could eat one more huge snack/small meal. Hopefully that will keep them full till surgery time. The hardest part will be the no fluids. Ugh!! When Daddy gets home today, we will take a field trip to the store so Mikayla can pick out jello and pudding and popsicles she will want to eat for the first couple of days.

Our Non-Hearing Children

So you won't see any pics here for a while - I have to mail my camera into the manufacturer to get fixed since the lens is stuck and doesn't go in or out. Ugh! What am I going to do???

Today, we took the girls to the ENT today due to not listening to us (or should I say not hearing us). It was sad, but I was actually very thankful that they had fluid in their ears. I was wondering if something really was wrong with them, especially Delilah. She would be three feet or less in front of me and she wouldn't hear a word I was saying unless I really raised my voice.

So the final outcome is that both have fluid in their ears. Delilah has a LOT!! She will get ear tubes put back in (she had them in when she had her tonsils and adenoids taken out at three years old - but ear tubes fall out within 12 - 18 months). Mikayla is going to get some put in to as well as get her adenoids and tonsils removed. Ugh! Last time she was put under with anesthesia (for an MRI), she had night terrors for a week! That was one of the most sleepless times I had since they were born.

We need prayers for the doctors and for the girls to come out with minimal, if no pain! I just want my babies to hear again and maybe they won't be as loud (yeah right!)
