Ear Follow Up

Today was a wonderful day.  I learned that my son's left ear is totally fine and that he does not have to have ear canal enlargement surgery.  His hearing is perfect in both ears.  And, should he have a blockage in the narrow canal is isn't a big deal - they just use ear drops.

Several people, including Morgan, thought it was premature for me to go ahead and meet with the superspecialist EMT but I couldn't be more pleased that I did.  Instead of spending the next 2 years dreading his ear I know he is totally normal - with a "normal" abnormality. 

Thank you thank you thank you.

This is the second time I have been referred first to a local specialist and then to a super specialist at one of the teaching hospitals in the past year.  Both times I have learned that my son is totally normal and there are no concerns.  Next time something comes up I'm having our ped send us straight to UNC or Duke to meet with the best and skip over the not so current doctors around town.
