She is a little trooper...and we got through the day pretty messily...
I didn't feed her, and she wasn't too horrified to my surprise. She was very patient and very brave.
Until they did it.
The doctor came back to tell us that her Eustachian tube is not functioning the way it should, but the cause is unknown. The artificial tubes should help, and they should last longer than the last pair. We'll talk again in 2 weeks and get more details then. The child has never had an ear infection...He ended with, "She hates us now, you know."
I figured.
She woke up terrified. It was awful. She ripped off all of the leads and cuffs, and if she could speak fluently, she would have told the nurse to shove that apple juice up her stethoscope, because there was no way she was drinking it. We carried her out shaking, came home and she ate 2 bowls of macaroni and cheese, threw it up all over me, and slept like the dead all night.
So, more to come, as always. But at least this very significant step has been taken, and we can continue along this strange path.
