The Morton Family Blog

Thanks for taking time and stopping by and reading our family blog. As a family of 6 we are busy and hope to encourge everyone to understand that everyone is different in his or her own way and that people shouldn't be looked at for their size but for their selves. Our youngest daughter Jalinn was born with dwarfism and we hope to raise awareness for the Little People community.

Ear Tube Time

The time has come that Jalinn needed to get ear tubes.  She had it done on 12-30-10 just before the New Year.  The reason she mainly needed to get the tubes was due to the fact that she has fluid in her left ear all the time and with the fluid always there, there is a cause it could have caused damage to her ear.  When we were waiting for Jalinn to go back to surgery she was so happy she even found the oxygen tube to chew on and have fun with.  The surgery was to take about 20 minutes but of course Jalinn has to be different...it took 40 minutes.  There was alot of infection and fluid in her left ear that they has to get out before they could place the tube.  She did great through the whole thing.  She is our little trooper. 


We noticed a difference with her with in 24 hours, her eyes stopped draining green coup and she seemed more happy.  It always helps to know you did the right thing when there is a good change after surgery.  Now we just hope these tubes stay in and there will be no more surgeries.
