2 for 2

On Tuesday we took Grayson for a follow up visit to the Ear, Nose, Throat doctor. About a month ago his right eardrum ruptured. The next day when he finally let us clean it up we found the tube that had been in his ears. Ever since then he continues to press or hold his ear. When we visit the pediatrician Grayson always has so much wax in his ears that he can't see anything. So, I felt the need to see the ENT. Good thing that I did, because Grayson is more than likely going to receive his second set of tubes. The ENT first cleaned out Graysons ears...OMG I have never seen so much wax. No wonder he can't hear anything! Both ears had fluid on them. We go back in a month to see if it is still there and will proceed with antibiotics and tubes if it is. I am positive this is going to happen.

Today Reagan had an appointment with a different ENT (long story). She has been battling an ear infection since December in her right ear. As soon as the doctor looked in both of her ears he said she needed tubes. He is hoping that they will also help with her constant sinus infections/runny nose/gunk. We are scheduled for April 1st for the surgery. She is not a good patient at all so this will be interesting. Too bad they didn't go to the same practice so we could try to get a two for one deal. Anyway, as you can see by the title of this post we are 2 for 2 on ear troubles. They take this after their daddy in case you were wondering!
