Round 2 with an ENT. We visited yesterday with a new ENT. The one that we have been seeing since coming home with MK did not please me to say the least, so we decided to abort ship and see another candidate. LOVED HIM! He was soooo good with MK - she even let him pull her one tube out while she just sat there on my lap. He talked on her level to her. He played games with her. He gave her prizes. Such a different experience. The ENT we had been seeing is probably just as knowledgeable but very adult mannered, not pediatric. Yesterday they chose to do another hearing test which stated that she in fact does not have hearing loss. YAY. She is on the lower normal side of hearing but no loss was indicated. That is the good news. The not so good news is that her eardrums are not vibrating as they should. The ENT seems to think that this is being caused by some fluid build up that he cannot detect with his instruments in the office. Based on the fact that MK has not had an antibiotic in almost a year, he chose to place her on one now and take the "wait and see" method. He will see her again in 4 weeks. He stated that this may be something that she will grow out of, or we may need another set of tubes. He just isn't sure but he wants to watch her and get to know her little ears very good before jumping the gun. YAY. (On a side note, there was a little boy, 3ish, who was in the office with us.....he had gently placed a Tic Tac up his knows that morning - I steared MK away from him for fear that he would give her ideas!)
