I know it is scary but the time spent under is so short.
He could lose his hearing. My son had it done at 18 months old, the first time.
When he turned 6, the teacher said he was retarded, took him back to the Doctor and he had lost quite a bit of his hearig, they put tubes in again and he was fine.
Good Luck, more prayers for you.

Thanks Donna, i still don't know why the doctor wants me to wait til dec 26 th,, he only told me to see if the fluid dries up in his ear on its own, but why so long, i think i'm going to move his apt up... he is scratching the hell out of that one ear..

I don't understand why he is delaying this, BUT, my friend went through this and talked to a friend of his that worked for the Doctor and they got him right in. I say, "it is who you know". Maybe you should get a second opinion or tell this Doctor you will be looking for another one.
I am not happy with our medical professionals at all. I have been so upset these last six months because the appointment wait time has been 2 to 4 hours. Guess we don't have enough Doctors.
Poor baby, is he on any medication?

He was on two anti biotics, the first ones weren't strong enough only cleared up one ear infection and the second set cleared both up, there is just a fluid build up in both ears now... i want to move his apt up, but Mike is out of town and took that friday off so he can go.
But Micah is scratching that left ear really bad, i just might have to move it up and Mike will just have to come home early one week....

i can't take it anymore, i made Micah an appointmet for Friday at 9:30 am, if the doctors don't do anything about his ears, there going to deal with one pissed off mother in there office, the poor kid is digging those ears in his sleep and shaking his head, that fluid has to be driving him crazy.. i wish i could take him today...
if he gets any worse im just going to take him the the ER....

I'm so sorry, Haley, that Micah's still having trouble with his ears. I wish that there was something that I could suggest that would help. I'll keep praying for the little guy.

Thanks Diana, its just driving me crazy i dont' know what to do, the doctor wants to see him Friday, but if he is still messing with that ear tonight, i'm jumping in my truck and taking him to med express, i don't want the poor kid to go death in that ear or it get worse.. i'm home by myself and Mike is still in Cleveland, its just very frustration to me... If that doctor don't do something this visit.. i'm going to be a very unhappy mother... and i don't think he wants to see that side of me... especially since its that time of month for me my patients are very thin right now...
