Grace and the ENT

Well our adventure continues with our little girl. If she doesn't get approved for speech (which I guess is a good thing - she is doing so great!) it was a method to finding a problem.

The good news is Grace passed her hearing test!

The bad news is her ear canals are so tiny and the wax builds up so quick and doesn't flush easy because of that. So even after a month we had to go through the horrid task of the dr. cleaning out her ears, the right being the worst. We will have to continue this monthly for now. As she gets older the ear canal will grow and they should flush better. So no fun, but needed.

There is also fluid behind her ear. The fluid is clear and not causing infections which is great but we can't leave it there long term or it will get infected. So for now we watch it and see if it starts to drain and if in a few months still there we will need to look at tubes so that it doesn't get infected.

So not a great report but something we needed to hear and address so in that I am giving thanks.
