Doctor Day

I just got back home from taking Hunter to the "ear doctor" and then on to school. Guess what??? After only 6 months, his tubes have already fallen out!! I'm still paying them off, for goodness sake!! He went to a clinic the end of February with ear pain, and that doctor said they were in, so I guess in the last 6 weeks they have fallen out. His left one is just lying in his ear, the doctor could see it. The right one, he wasn't sure, so we did a pressure test, and it's out. He thinks maybe it just fell out and is lying against the ear drum, because that ear's pressure didn't look good. It's either that, or he already has fluid back there. But Doc says he's optimistic, he was looking at Hunt and mentioned how "long and lean" he's getting/gotten, and that surely his ears canals are following along, and straightening out like they should. We go back in a month....he said we'll use this month as a trial to see if we get any infections. Hunter was delighted, no more ear plugs in the bathtub, I on the other hand, am not. Ah well....we'll just take it day by day and pray those ears into shape, literally!!
