I'll keep this short & sweet...
Our precious boy is getting tubes in his ears next Tuesday. He's had quite a few ear infections AND has had thick fluid sitting in his ears for at least 4 months, probably more. Every time I took him to the pediatrician for something else, he always ending up having an ear infection too. This makes me think he's had more than he's even been diagnosed with.
Anyways, a couple weeks ago we went back to have his ears looked at after a double ear infection and the pediatrician said it was time to go to the ENT. So, that Friday, that's what we did. Dr. Jordan was great! They gave Carson a hearing test that showed he had about 35% hearing loss due to the fluid. The good thing is that it is 100% reversible {or at least is should be!}. It was funny sitting in this little sound-proof room with him. They had little stuffed animals that lit up and played drums/cymbals, but I was supposed to sit still and not look. It was hard not to and not laugh.
So, wish us luck and say a little prayer for Carson next Tuesday. From what I've heard, this should make a world of difference!
Prayers for you guys! Every single person I've known that has had their kids get them say it's a miracle! I'm sure it will be the same for sweet Carson!!
