Bored

Okay, I am bored...I don't think I have talked about jack's hearing lately. The very last time we were at the ENT (1st week in April) we were scheduled to see the ENT assistant but at the last minute we were switched and saw the actual ENT. Jack was supposed to be there for yet another hearing test, but when the audiologist, Cheryl, did the tympanogram she said it wasn't a good day to test his hearing. Jack's middle ear (right ear) was measuring pretty badly with negative pressures. This is measured at 0 for normal and his was at -400. So not good at all---the ENT said his eradrum was pretty retracted and he gave us more antibiotics to help clear up the infection and fluid. He said that we should continue the singulair and nasonex as well. We go back on the 28th of this month and if Jack's ear doesn't look perfect, he wants to do another tube surgery. Just on the right ear, but I hope it doesn't come down to that because I don't want to have to fuss with tubes again. The ENT hopes that with cold/flu season over that as long as his middle ear has no negative pressure when we go back, that he should be good. I personally don't like that Jack is taloing all these meds on a daily basis and so much in recent months. He has been on the singulair for 2 months as well as the nasonex and then intermittently he has been on steroids and antiobiotics as well. Ick...I am so not into overmedicating.

In other news, my kids are playing really well together right now---both in the trampoline on this wonderfully sunny day. Entertaining themselves!!!!! YAY
