Ava’s Ears Pierced

Ava had a big moment over Christmas break. She got her ears pierced. Unfortunately, that led to another big moment when she had her first ER visit. We got her ears pierced at our pediatrician office, hoping that would avoid any sort of issues. Well, her ears managed to get infected somehow and since it was Sunday night and New Years Day, we had nowhere else to take her but the childen’s ER (thanks to one of our nurse friends for telling us that’s where we needed to go after I sent her pictures). She was so disappointed to have to have the earrings taken out and now have to wait at least 3 months before having them pierced again. But, she looked so grown up for a few days before they got infected. She is all better now and is counting down the days until she can get them pierced again (although mama is even more hesitant to do it now after this experience).
