Annabel's ear surgery

Annabel's surgery has been moved up to October 21, this Tuesday. I haven't discussed it with her yet as I think it will just build anxiety. I feel anxious enough for both of us!

The doctor's schedule changed and they called to postpone the surgery. I begged to have it done earlier rather than later. After the ear infection last week, I know it has to be done quickly.

The purpose of the surgery is to rebuild her eardrum. It appears that she has had chronic ear infections that have gone without treatment. This has led to a perforation in her eardrum, also leading to hearing loss.

I am excited about the possible improvements for her!
