My little handsome fellow here with a messy face, cant win for nothin. 6 weeks ago he got tubes put in his ears, and he did amazing. My poor little guy had a horrible infection in both ears and I didn't even know. So anti-biotic #1 was started for 10 days, and did no good, #2 was started for another 10 days, and got worse. So a 3 day shot was started, and what do you know, even worse. So..... the left ear that seems to keep causing problems, was extremely infected. They suctioned all the infection and pus out when they put the tubes in. He recovered very well, as most do. He had them done at Primary Children's, so it gave me a little peace at mind, seeing that he was only 6 months and being put to sleep.
On Friday we went in just to check his ears and be sure there was no more infection. They first did a hearing test, his right ear passed, left did not. At this point we aren't sure if it's permanently hearing loss, or just the way the tube settled on the ear drum. In 8 weeks he has to go back and have the same tests done again. Just when I thought those dang things were doing so well, but nothing serious I'm told, I'm only believing this because this doctor was awarded top 25 E.N.T's in Utah, so I have faith in him for now.
