Kirin needs tubes

We had an appointment with an ENT surgeon last night and they do want to put tubes in Kirin's ears. He said they just don't look so great. So we have a pre-op visit on June 29th and surgery on June 30th. It's supposedly not so bad and the kids recover quickly. In & out and a month out of the water. After that, there's not a whole lot they can't do. No diving under water more than 12" and we're good to go. Hopefully, when they fall out on their own in about a year, she'll have outgrown the problem. He explained that it's quite common for living at this altitude. Kid's ears just aren't necessarily developed for it. Interesting...
