Aubri had tubes placed when she was a year old because she had constant ear infections. Her doctor went through every type of antibiotic and each time we finished one, her ears would flair up again. Tubes ended up being our only choice. Now, the ear tubes do eventually fall out, and Aubri had both of hers fall out when she was about three years old, and her left eardrum never closed up as is should have. The hole in her eardrum caused her pain when she would get water in her ears, as well as hearing loss.
Aubriana had surgery to repair her eardrum on Tuesday (April 24, 2012). Everything went smoothly during surgery. She had a rough time in recovery, was in some pain, but is doing so much better today!
Her surgery this Tuesday involved using a skin graft obtained just inside her ear, and placing it over the hole of the eardrum. We are praying that it closes the hole successfully, although her doctor did say this type of surgery had a 90% success rate. Praying she is one of the 90%!
