So, Kaelyn has had multiple ear infections ever since we removed her tonsils in February. So, I took her into the ENT yesterday and they want to place tubes in her ears tomorrow. It is affecting her hearing, which already isn't the best. I guess it is not too involved of a surgery. She should even still be able to continue her swimming lessons that she just started yesterday. Speaking of....I think my little girl is really Ariel the Little Mermaid in disguise! She loves to swim! She really hasn't had much of a chance to be able to swim in her almost 5 years. So it is so fun to watch her in the water!
She also is very excited,Sunday is her 5th birthday. She keeps asking me if she will be as tall as a grown-up when she is five! Seeing how that is in less than a week, and she is only 3 foot 1, I am guessing it's not going to happen! Oh, and this is a funny one, what she really wants for her birthday is a little sister....that one too, is not going to happen in less than a week! Kaelyn is growing up so fast...though she can't see it in the mirror, I can see it in her. What a blessing, our little girl, who was said was not going to make it past 2 is going to be 5 years old. What more can I ask for.
Love,
Angie

Wonderful to hear that she will celebrate her 5th birthday--with all that you have been through with her it is truly a miracle! Good luck with the tubes--I understand the surgery is quick and the recovery is quick and if it prevents more ear infections, it will be very worth it!
Tell Kaelyn i said Happy Birthday! I can't believe that she is going to be 5 on Sunday, that is amazing. I love being able to check on kaelyn via the internet. I would go crazy if i couldn't. I am glad that she is doing so well. Good luck with ear tube surgery!
OOPS! That anonymous comment was from Ashley Thompson. Sorry
Hi Angie!
I used to work at Childrens in Interventional Radiology (we live in Alaska now). I am so happy to see how well Kaelyn is doing. She was always such a smart brave little girl when you would bring her in. She is about the age of my daughter and I remember when she turned 3!! We think of her often!! I am glad you are all doing well down in Utah.
Sincerely,
Shannon
