EAR Update


The ear saga continues.... Charlie had tubes put in July 25th. Since then we have had a couple of check ups and the doctor was concerned about his chronic congestion and he was concerned about his right tube. The right tube is blocked and red. Last week he put Charlie back on another round of antibiotics and steroids (which was a first for us), and Charlie was to be checked again in seven days. Well, we went in yesterday afternoon to find out that the right tube is STILL blocked and his ear is still red. The congestion however is much better. To make a long, boring story short....we have to continue drops in his right ear for another 7 days and he will see us back next week. At that point he will decide whether Charlie needs a second surgery to remove the blocked tube and put in a new one.
He has been quite the little trooper through all of this. But, we are praying for the drops to work!!!! We do not want another surgery!!!!
