Well, took dd to the ENT yesterday. Apparently her body had started to reject the tube in that ear and was attacking it, causing a massive infection in her hear and head which in turn caused her eardrum to rupture. So she had surgery this morning to remove the tube and as much of the infection as they could! She came through it like a champ and is pretty much back to her old self again...AND she says her ear feels MUCH better! Keeping my fingers crossed that we don't have to have tubes again!
