ears

michael has been getting ear infections from swimming...

so, i took him back into the ent.

micheal had tubes put in his ears when he was 1. after they fell out, one of the perforations never closed up. we attempted a fat-patch repair (they take some fat from the back of the earlobe, and place it in the perforation in the ear drum) earlier this year, but it failed. a fascia patch was planned, but never implemented because of the season and swimming lessons.

his ear is starting to close up on it's own!

we also had his hearing checked, and the function of the eustachian tube. all of those are looking great. at this point, we are just going to keep an eye on it.
