Jack is "smiling", but it looks like growling.

Jack's Ear Drama
This could be a LONG post, but I will try to keep it simple. At Jack's 2 year check-up I let the doctor know that he wasn't talking much. The doctor wasn't worried, but my Mommy instincts kicked in and I got him tested. Sure enough he had a speech delay, and started receiving speech therapy twice a week. They also did a few hearing tests and Jack never passed them, we ended up finding out he had fluid in his ears and he wasn't hearing properly. He should hear the human voice at 20 decibels, but he wasn't hearing it until 50 decibels. As a result, Jack had surgery on April 16th to have his adenoids removed and tubes placed in his ears. I thought this would be an immediate solution, but about 2 weeks later Jack got very sick. Come to find out his incision on his right ear had bled too much and scabbed over his tube. With the help of antibiotics and ear drops, we have a healthy Jack-Jack and he is starting to speak better everyday. YEAH! I hope the ear drama is over....

Owe! I didn't realize that he ended up getting sick later on. Is that good or bad that it scabbed over his tube?
ReplyDeleteGlad he's starting to feel better and is already doing better with talking! I miss you like crazy, I hardly read blogs anymore, but tonight when I saw the top pic on this post, it just hit me that we used to be roommates and great friends, and we've all changed so much since then and now our kids are our world, who could have pictured us all being moms way back then. I love it, and I love seeing the change in all if us, but also miss the old days like crazy too!
