"FAMILY DAY @ DR. CECOLA'S OFFICE"


Well we were off to see Dr. Cecola on Monday the 28th! My friend Jacque watched Ray for us which was quite a blessing! Thanks Jacque!!We arrived at the very busy Dr. Cecola's office to find Daddy waiting for us!!Yey, Daddy!! Momma was so excited to have you there!So anyway,with the office being so busy it was quite loud! There was a little area with a Lego table and a play tool bench for the kiddies to enjoy! Needless to say the Mayeaux children were not shy, and proceeded to play.They were having a ball while I was filling out all of the necessary paperwork. Slowly all of the other children came over and started playing as well. Emma was introducing herself to each of the children and getting upset if the child was too shy to say their name!She would just say out loud "why won't she tell me her name"? While Emma was being "MISS MANNERS", Ava was letting everyone know that she is now 3 years old, and insisted upon lifting up her dress , and sitting with her legs wide open! When I asked her why she was doing this she replied "CAUSE ITS COMFY COZY"! Whatever! You gotta choose your battles and that wasn't one I was wanting to get into! So finally we here those golden words"EMMA & AVA MAYEAUX"? Promptly those precious little Mayeaux children went to the back for our visit with "DR.COLA"!Ava was first, She did great!We asked the Dr.about why would Ava need to be shoving her finger up her nose constantly?Keeping in the forefront of our minds was the last time we saw "DR.COLA" he had just removed a popcorn kernel from Ava's nostril!So as he is laughing about "The Kernel" , he looks in her nose and discovers that she had a massive sinus infection in which he was going to put her on another antibiotic!Yey,More meds!!Can you hear my sarcasm here?Other than that he wouldn't need to see her until around 4 months from now. She is hearing so much better! It really is amazing!!!Now it was Emma's turn, upon getting some history on Emma, he examined her and immediately asked us if we had time for him to do a hearing test on her. Emma did get a little nervous before the hearing test. Rick was trying to explain to her how things were going to go, so that eased her mind a little. I went in with her for her testing in which she of course she failed miserably!!Dr. Cecola came back in to tell us the results and let us know that she is so blocked with fluid that her hearing is extremely compromised. He recommend for her to also have surgery A.S.A.P.
She will need to have her Adenoids removed and to also have tubes put in. At first she didn't understand what he said.So when he left the room we explained to her that she would be having the same surgery as Ava! Upon hearing this Emma squealed with delight and told Ava, "AVA CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE IT! WERE GONNA BE TUBE TWINS"!! And in typical Ava fashion her only response was"WHERES MY SUCKER AND STICKER"?To be continued:Emma's surgery is scheduled for May19th!
