Dang Ear!

So Zoey got a tube in the left ear about 3 weeks ago for the third time. The doctor said it looked good after he put it in and he cleaned out all the green goop/pus. Plus no sign of the cholesteatoma that he thought might be there. So sounds wonderful, right? Well about a week ago guess what??? Oh yes, you guessed it more green pus! So I saw the doctor yesterday and he said to use half vinegar and half water and shoot it in her ear with a bulb syringe. We have done this before and it does help since vinegar is a natural antibiotic but it takes both Corey and I holding her down while she is screaming so loud the neighbors can hear, and we get the joy of doing this twice a day! Plus he tells me he thinks that it could possibly be her mastoid bone that is infected (which I thought all along) and it may be time for surgery since we have exhausted all out options. We have tried everything else because the surgery is very painful and they basically cut the ear from the back and peel it back to operate and most likely she will go deaf in that ear. And here is the kicker... it usually reoccurs!! GRRR! I get to go back in another two weeks so he can look in her ear for 30 seconds after driving an hour and waiting an hour! YEAH!
To make things more interesting Zoey woke up from her nap today and her hair was stuck to her face from the green goop and I happened to look in her ear to see how much was coming out and there it was.....her tube! It freakin fell out! So now what??? I am waiting for the good ole doctor to call me back. Of course he will take his sweet time as all doctors do!
