Ear Tubes and Philly Updates

Dylann had her ear tube surgery Friday and it went well. All the fluid is out and she should be hearing great now. All the nurses loved her and called her their angel. She barely even cried coming out of the anesthesia. They talked some about her heart and that it is normal at her age. They didn't seem concerned at all but still wouldn't do an ECG or echo. We will be talking to her pediatrician about it more I guess. I also talked via email to the Philly MD yesterday and today so there are some plans in place. Dylann will be starting casting at the Shriners in Mpls 10/30 and he will work with the MD here as needed. Dr VB from Philly actually wants to do her hip surgery right away next summer as he likes to do it when they are 12-18 months. So Dylann has a big summer ahead of her next year in Phildelphia doing hip surgery and hopefully enough casting to have her feet in the correct positions. Maybe the MD here can do most of the feet work too. His nurse was very nice and said they will do all they can to co-manage with Dr VB so that we can hopefully minimize the travel as much as possible.
