Remi has had terrible ear infections and so we were referred by our pediatrician to an ENT, or ears nose and throat specialist.
Our apt went super well. They did the newborn screening test to see if his hearing had been affected from his past ear infections. The results came back as PASS! He has NO hearing loss. They also checked his ear drums to see if they responded well and to make sure there was no scar tissue. Those results also came back as PASS!! YAY!! So no damage at all! And of course they checked to see if he had any current infection and he did not.
SO with all that being said, the doctor did say he IS a candidate for Tubes since he doesn't respond well to antibiotic. We talked it over a bit amongst the three of us and decided to wait it out a bit to see if his past infections we're due to flu sesson or if he had structural issues. And if does get one more ear infection, that would be the "GO" to schedule for tubes.
All in all, it was a great apt. We had good news all around and walked out of there with smiles on our faces.
And after telling the doctor that Remington HATES having his ears touched and that he would scream and fight the doctor when he examined them......Go figure that Remi proves us wrong and just sits there the whole time with a smile on his face. Brat.
