Alien Ally

Poor Ally has been getting ear aches almost every time she goes swimming. We try to put drops in and blow dry her ears, but we just can't prevent the pain. Last week she woke up two nights in a row crying. Each night it was a different ear. So I took her to the doctor and they were both inflamed.

With swimming at least three times a week, we had to do something. So I found out the name of a place that makes custom ear plugs. Ally and I headed down to Central together. We had to wait a long time in the office. Of course, it was lunch time. So the office guys kept feeding her candy. Just what I needed a hyper, hungry 5 year old in a doctor's office. Once we got in the process was quick. They stuck a string wick in her ear. Then they mixed a green putty and injected it in her ears. She looked like a space creature and couldn't stop giggling. After waiting 5 minutes, they pulled the string and out popped her molds.

We have to go back next Saturday and pick them up and check the fitting. Hopefully, this will be the end of ear aches and ear space exploration.
