Danni had surgery today to repair her ear pit. There are 6 pits that form the ear during fetal development. In some people, 1 or more pits doesn’t close completely. If the ear pit allows fluid to pass through it, it can cause infections and is painful. Danni has had this infection since July. It went away temporarily in August but came back at the end of August worse than it was in July. We had a rough start because she told all the people in scrubs “No! No!”. She doesn’t like people who wear scrubs to come near her. It is a battle at the doctor’s office most of the time. While sitting in the waiting room, we could hear her crying. It took about 20 minutes to calm her down. The nurses and doctors stayed outside the curtains and one of us would have to go out and talk to them. If they came into the curtain or Danni saw them, she would start screaming and crying again. Her monitors kept going off everytime too, so they stopped coming in. She is watching TV with Chuck and there is no crying so she seems to be doing fine.
