Stella had her first appointment with the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor yesterday. It was a rough afternoon for us. Our pediatrician's office had referred us to a doctor and set up the appointment. When we got to the first
ENT's office we discovered that they don't accept our insurance. I was pretty upset because we had driven an hour for the appointment. The first
ENT's office was nice enough to call and try to get us into a different
ENT's office that did accept our insurance. The second office said they could get us in, and we were very thankful that we wouldn't have to make a second trip to Columbia to see a different doctor. We ended up having to wait at the second
ENT's office for a few hours before we could be seen. Luckily, both of my parents had gone with me. The girls are so active now that it is a challenge to entertain them in a small space for long periods of time. Having extra adults always helps.
Stella still had fluid in her ears, and the
ENT decided that she is a good candidate for tubes. They will be contacting me to schedule her
pre-op appointment. I also had a chance to talk to them about Emerson's ears. She felt like Emerson would also be a good candidate for tubes, but we will wait for her next ear infection since she doesn't have any fluid in her ears right now.
We got the girls a Little
Tikes table and chairs set. They are pretty excited about it!

It reminds me of the table and chairs set that my brother and I had when we were little.
