Grommet surgery

So at the crack of dawn (to beat the dreaded rush hour traffic) we headed into the city for Savannah's grommet surgery. I was a little nervous about the anesthetic, none of the kids had ever had it or any kind of surgery before, so i was a tiny bit anxious. I was also really hoping to get some answers.
Savannah was so well behaved apart from the fact she was STARVING! I mean try telling a 2yr old she cannot eat at 730am!  I was constantly having to get her little fingers out of her lunch bag until after surgery lol.
 Everything ran so smoothly i couldn't have faulted the hospital & staff at all. They where all so good with Savannah & where on time for everything (which with a 2 yr old is a big TICK for me!lol)
I think the hardest part of my day was having to hold her down when they put the mask over her little face. Not something i liked but at the end of the day it meant she was going to get a grommet & hopefully that would help drain the fluid.
Once she was out of surgery & had woken up i came back in & sat with her. The nurses kept telling me that she might not feel herself for awhile as the anesthetic wears off. Ummm nope Savannah was literally up & ready to party 20mins later... hahahaha

Once she had some food in her & was rested up the Dr came out to let us know how it all went.
So after months & months of fluid being on Savannah's ears, when she got into surgery they where dry. Absolutely NO fluid on her ears at all! They gave her ears a good clean out whilst they where there & still inserted the grommet into the left ear as precaution.But if there isn't fluid how does the grommet work? does that mean her drop in hearing is permanent if there is no fluid?
I had held a whole lot of hope on that little grommet! I was hoping it would be what Sav needed to drain the fluid & have her hearing come back down to mod/sev...
So now we wait, wait another 3 weeks for yet another hearing test. Not sure what this test holds because the grommet was meant to help her hopefully hear better, but now I'm not sure what we are to be expecting.
Even though today was not how i imagined it & yes we have taken yet another bump on this journey , we can only hope that in 3 weeks time we get some results we can finally move forward with (implant) or we can move quickly past all this & get Sav back on track!
At least she left today will a huge smile on her face again & waving at all the traffic as we left the hospital...lol she is always such a trooper!

stay tuned...
