A week ago today Gavin went back to have his hearing tested again since his right ear failed previously and unfortunately their has been no change in his right ear. It is still flatlined when they test his eardrum, meaning there is no response to sound in that ear. They still see a lot of fluid build up and so the steroids didn't work to help shrink whatever was holding the fluid in his ear. So, last Thursday I had to take him back to the doctor again and he said it is now time to put a tube in his ear. So Slattery referred me to the Carroll ENT (Wellendorf) and we have an appointment there on March 10 for an initial consult and then we will make an appointment to do his tube. We just hope and pray all goes well and that this will put him on the path to hearing better and speaking better. So, thanks for all of your thoughts and concerns about Gavin.
