K's ear

Thursday night as K was giving out good night kisses, we heard a pop that sounded like it came from her ear. When I looked in her ear with a flashlight, I could see the tube. But it was just far enough back that there was no way I could reach it. When we asked her if her ear hurt, she just said it sounded funny. I spent Friday trying to get her an appointment with someone, her pediatrician or the ENT that put the tubes in. The pediatrician didn't want to touch the issue since they didn't put the tubes in. The ENT couldn't see me until March 16, unless I wanted to drive 2 hours to his other office. I was not comfortable with waiting that long! I don't want her hearing messed up! So I called her peds doctor back and they agreed to see her and see if they could help.

Her appointment was Tuesday afternoon (after Wal Mart, errands, and lunch with Daddy). The doctor said that the tube was sitting in her canal but not touching her ear drum. But the doctor couldn't get it out. So we now have an appointment with a new ENT on Friday. Hopefully this new doctor will take it out. I just don't like the fact that it is just sitting in there.

While we were there, I mentioned to the doctor that C has had a horrible cough for a few days and he has also had diarrhea every morning after breakfast for 4 days now. She didn't seem worried; we just need to let both run its course. We'll get worried if he still has issues in 6 more days. I am sooooo ready for spring to come and all these health issues to GO AWAY!
