Back from ENT's office

Okay, well...we have some answers, I think? The ENT assistant came in and asked what was up, we talked, she looked over lots of data---behavior tests that Jack has done from 3/07, 7/07, 12/07. 1/08 and now 2/09. They are all over the place---all very different. Some up and some down. She said we can gather that 1) Jack is an unreliable kid when it comes to these tests, 2) he has fluctuating hearing, 3) let's test more because who knows what the hell is going on. So she said he has fluid in his right ear, the drum is barely moving and he has negative pressure within the middle ear. I told her that the Audiologist said that none of that would effect the high frequencies of his hearing tests but she said she believes it does interfere with scores. She also said that the MRI would only be looking for Acoustic Neuromas and that at this point she doesn't feel that they need to get that drastic. She said that he needs meds to get the fluid all cleared out and bring down swelling in his adenoids. So he is now taking Clarinex, Nasonex and Omnicef (for the infection). We go back 2 weeks from today so they can repeat the hearing test at the ENT's office. She said "let's do this first then talk about the MRI". She said that Acoustic Neuromas don't grow at a rapid rate, very slowly in fact so even if by some small, teeny tiny chance it is that, it won't hurt to wait a couple weeks. So that is what she said. She also said she thinks someone, his teacher, his speech pathologist---his mommy and daddy, someone would have noticed his hearing dipping down that much. She is thinking his hearing hasn't decreased at this point, maybe fluctuating but not by the degree the audiologist says it has. Hmmm, specialists who don't agree.
