So we took Luke for his follow up visit to the ENT Friday. I got smart and asked for the FIRST appointment of the day, so we only waited like 10 min. in the waiting room. Oh yes, if nothing else, I learn from my mistakes. So anyway, he still has some fluid in the ear and they did some hearing tests which weren't bad but they weren't so good either. They support decreased hearing due to the fluid but we don't believe at this time that anything is permanent with the hearing loss either. His tonsils and adenoids are still HUGE and the Dr. feels that they definitely need to come out. Sigh, I have mixed feelings about this as I do feel that if things ain't broke, I no wanna fix 'em but on the other hand, I also know that as Luke get's older these could be very bothersome to him. That surgery is 1000 times easier as a child than an adult sooooooo.....we're back in July when our new insurance kicks in to set up surgery. We'll check his ears again too because if they're still fluid filled, we'll put in tubes the same time as the tonsillectomy.
Bring on the Popsicles!
