My brave little 5yo girl had to go in to hospital for a minor operation this morning.

She has had recurrent ear infections due to a build up of "muck" in her ears. As a result she had ninor surgery this morning to put in "gromits" (sp?) which help the ears to drain.

She is fine and came out of the aneasthetic (sp?) well. She was really, really brave and her daddy is very proud.

Just thought I'd share.

Awww... give her big hugs for all of us, please.

i second that

We call them tubes here, it's probably just a slang version of the actual name.

She sounds like such a little trooper! What a good girl.

I used to get over ten a year from age five to about 12 or thirteen, when puberty stopped. They would come right back if I went off Augmentin (the antibiotic they made me take... it tasted horrible). I was growing too fast and they couldn't tube me. I even have minor hearing loss because of the problems. It's good to hear she could get the "gromits".

Glad to hear it went smoothly.

Thanks guys!

It never ceases to amaze you how brave your children can be and how adaptable they are.

My son had ear infections for years.

Six sets of tubes...

tonsills and adenoids removed...

today he is perfect!!!

Cheers for Your brave little girl!!

<<< for your daughter!!


...thought ya knew!!...

that's cool .. i like the way kids can kinda breeze through things... while their parents are a complete mess

Awww...the little sweety. You must have been a mess...Oh god! I just remembered that your wife would be the one who is a mess.
I shouldn't laugh...I probably would faint if they did that to my little girl.

Hopefully this will solve the problem for your little sweetie. It's amazing how much we can learn and feel from the simplicity and purness of a child isn't it? She sounds like she has a great Daddy too!
