In January - we were told that Lucy's tubes in her both ears were non-functioning. She was to have them replace on March 14 at the same time her plastic surgeon did the bone graphing in her mouth (Lucy has been seeing this doctor since she was only 16 days old - she was born with a cleft lip/palate - she is now 8 years old ). Well the tubes were never put in. And I have never heard back from that doctor so Lucy will be seeing Dr. Villanueva this coming Tuesday, May 6th. But any way, Lucy is experiencing troubles with her ears right now. Three nights ago, I went into her room to kiss her and her left side of her face was very wet. Went, got a flashlight, look and you wouldn't believe what I saw. Her whole ear was full of fluid. And I do mean FULL. Dripping down the side of her face and down her neck. I woke her up and she said that she wasn't in any pain, but WOW, so much fluid. I cleaned it up and she went back to bed. The next morning, I called her regular doctor and got her an appointment for after school. The doctor said that, Yes, this can happen after tubes fall out. He gave us some drops for the ears. Well, she woke up this morning and the right ear is now having fluid coming out of it. She is miserable, this stuff is dripping down her neck, getting into her hair - which is hard to comb then. But that is not all, and the reason for these request. Lucy just came to be at about 9pm and was crying because as she was pulling her pj's down to go to the bathroom before going to bed, she saw some blood on the site of her incision on her hip. The one end of the incision is bleeding a little. I put some antibiotic cream on it and will have the nurse at her school to look at it tomorrow. She has been great with Lucy.
This little girl has been through sooooo much, she is amazing, she puts up with so much. I want her to stop having so many medical problems. 2 1/2 weeks ago she had strep throat. She missed another day of school because of that.
Sorry to go on and on, but I pray for this little girl every night that things would get better for her but now I thought that I would ask for more prayers for her.
Thanks to all, I know I can count on you.
