What a crazy life. We are leaving for sunny Hawai’i in two weeks!
For what? For THIS.However, this
leads me right back to my work on Sigma Orionis. Ack! I have GOT to get my butt in gear. Right now, I am running a coordinate matching code to see if I can get some of my sources to match up between two different telescopes.
Add to this our ORL (otolaryngology) appointment from yesterday for Luna. Remember when these guys were the "Ear Nose Throat" doctors? Not
anymore! Now you too can try to pronounce otolaryngology.
I digress.
Anyway, Luna’s had 3-4 ear infections over the summer. Her last one was last Sunday. I count that as over the summer. We’ve seen this doctor 3 times now. In June, he was all happy that we were out of ear infection season, no tubes would be needed, we just need to monitor the situation. With the added ear infections and the fluid build up, the mild hearing loss and our upcoming flight, the decision yesterday was "tubes". I’ve been researching this all summer and I think it is the right thing.
Given our trip, we are doing the procedure (aka puncturing my child’s ear drums!) tomorrow. Poor girl can’t have any food after midnight (that means milk) and only 4oz of water or applejuice between midnight
and 8am. Then NOTHING. She is not going to be a happy camper.
I hate the thought of doing this, but we survived Soleil’s tear duct procedure, she was only 13 months when we had that done, We can survive this…
