ENT

hello
we just got back home from our trip to the pediatrician, we went for a re-check on Charlie's ear. Well, the left one is the same, the right one is clear. She put Charlie on a stronger antibiotic and scheduled an appointment with an ENT for March 9. She said that if his ear is clear, then they will probably wait and see. If not, then she is sure the ENT will schedule him for tubes. It is a tough call because he is a little older, so he may out grow it soon and also the cold season will go away soon. Lets all pray that his ear is clear. Our pediatrician said that the junk in his ear is very thick, like glue. I aksed about using allergy meds, like claritan. She wasn't sure it would clear out all the gunk. We will do the antibiotic for 10 days and see the ENT in 3 weeks. I just hate the thought of him having surgery. It is very quick and he should be just fine, but it is still scary!
I will keep everyone updated on his little ears. On a positive note, she did say that the ear infections have not affected his speech. He is quite the little talker. She lets him play with her stethoscope, he took it today and said "I be the doctor now". She just laughes at him.
thanks for checking in on us, I will post another update soon. I took some pictures of Charlie and Karady today. He loves her! We are having a lot of fun with her and she is getting used to being here. She is such a good baby.
