Well, Chris took Keegan to the doctor yesterday to have his ears checked. We have been struggling with ear infections in both ears since the end of December. At the check-up, the doctor was not happy with the results. While the left ear had cleared up, the right one is still infected. So, now we are on antibiotic #3. The doctor will check his ears at his 9 month check-up on February 25th. If things have not improved, he said we will need to have a serious discussion about having tubes put in his ears. Chris sees no problem in putting the tubes in since he had tubes growing up. He remembers how painful the earaches from the infections were and does not want to put Keegan through that. Keegan will have to wear earplugs for baths/showers/swimming until the fall out. Of course, Chris's did not fall out and he had to have them surgically removed. I am worried about the tubes basically becuase I am not familiar with them. No one in my family has had ear tubes. I am also concerned about future complications. Chris has hearing loss (that he won't go see a specialist for!) that he does not know how it happened. He thinks it is caused by something else but I'm just not sure.
So, again, prayers for healthy ears!!
