Well, after 6 months of trying to figure out what's up with Ev's ears we have a plan of action in place. She has cronic fluid in her ears and it is affecting her hearing. Therefore, she'll be getting tubes in her ears in a few weeks. This should allow the fluid drain and help her hear better.
She'll also be having her adenoids removed. The ENT stuck a camera up her nose (ouch!) to determine they are enlarged and likely affecting her speech. So, she'll have them removed at the same time she has her tubes in place.
Getting tubes only takes a minute per ear and the adenoid removal is about 5 minutes, so the surgery should be quick - and the recovery is also supposed to be very quick.
I am just glad to have a plan in place - we've been going through options and waiting for cold season to be over for a long time so we could get a good look at the situation and I hope this is a good plan for her. Hopefully it does not curtail swimming this summer.

Such an important development for Evie, I really hope this makes a big difference for her! I'm sure it's a little nerve-wracking but also a relief to have a plan in place. Please let us know if we can help at all during the surgery or before and after!
Good luck!!! It'll be fine, but I am sure it is still a bit nerve wracking.
