We learned some new vocabulary in the last couple of months.
Otolaryngologists are physicians trained in the the medical and surgical management and treatment of patients with diseases and disorders of the ear, nose, throat (ENT), and related structures of the head and neck.
Tympanostomy tubes (ear tubes, ventilation tubes, pressure equalization tubes) are tiny cylinders, usually made of plastic or metal, that are surgically inserted into the eardrum.
After poor, little Hannah fought a nasty, nasty ear infection for six weeks and tried out five antibiotic treatments, we saw the first vocabulary word and had the second vocabulary term inserted.
So many fun things to play with...
... and discover in a hospital.
Everything went smoothly and recovery included lots of rest and cuddling.
