Charlotte did end up getting ear tubes place on December 22. She handled it like a champ. She did not have the crabby/crying confusion that some kids have when they are coming out of the anesthesia. She had so much thick fluid in one ear, and a bulging ear infection in the other. The infected ear was itchy and uncomfortable with the tubes in place. I hope her hearing is restored. I hope I did the right thing.
Christmas eve was a beautiful night of Christmas Pagent and our little star (Charlotte) and angel (Natalie) and a moving Mass afterward as well. We traveled over several rivers and on the edge of some woods to get to Aunt Missy's for Christmas Day dinner. Natalie was crying when we had to leave. I don't know what to do about the distance between her and her dear cousins. I don't know what to do about her perceived injustices on that topic.
Yesterday, the 26th, we went to Aunt Sherry's to celebrate the Wessing Family Christmas, as I have done for the last 40 years. It was warm and fun. There are so many amazing people with amazing lives in that family. I hope some of that trickles down to my girls. They are amazing and deserve the same.
