Ear tubes here we come!

Yep. It's official. We went to the doctor today. He has fluid in his years and significant hearing loss. We are assuming/hoping that once the tubes are in the hearing will be restored. That it is the fluid that is causing the problem. So I'm not crazy about his speech. It could very well be delayed b/c of his hearing loss b/c of the fluid. I am crazy, not denying that....But hopefully once the tubes are in he'll be able to hear and his speech will catch up. We know he'll be a talker - he babbles all the time - and he comes from a family of talkers, so... They will also be removing his adenoids. He has had problems with congestion ever since he was born. He breaths a lot through his mouth, and a hard breathing and snores sometimes at night. So, all that together means adenoids out. We're waiting for the scheduler to call and schedule but we are anxious to get it done so the poor boy can hear!! And just to get it over b/c I will be very anxious until it's all done and he's back in my arms :) That's the latest from here!

Kelly, let us know when he gets the tubes put in, poor fella, I hope it corrects everything. Kyle has ear problems too, but so far, he hasn't had to have it corrected. We will buy dinner for you all that night, you won't feel like doing anything but taking care of Camden, so I will call. I think I only have Keven's cell though, so I need yours!

Oh man! Poor little guy!!! I hear from lots of people that it makes a huge difference so at least that will be good, but no one ever wants their baby to have to have surgery - even relatively safe & easy surgery. I'll keep y'all in my prayers & let me know if I can do anything to help! Love ya, Me
