Worries are over! :D

So I have been trying to stay busy lately with my Etsy shops and trying to keep on top of the listings, which is sometimes near impossible. But at the same time keeping myself busy has kept me from worrying so much about my 6 year old.

My 6 year old kept getting double ear infections and not getting better only worse, starting back in October. All his doctor was able to do for him was give him antibiotics. Well after awhile, the reason he wasn't getting better is because he had become immune to the antibiotics. So his doctor came up with a solution that he thought and we thought would be the end to his ear infections. He gave him a completley different antibiotic and stronger, which cost us $200 up front even with health insurance...eeek...But it was worth it if it was going to make my baby get better.

Well at the same time this was going on, we kept getting reports from his kindergarden teacher that he was not listening to her and most of the time to the point of what she thought was completely ignoring her. We also started noticing at home that he was ignoring us. We could be not even a couple feet away from him and we had to nearly shout at him for him to hear us. We didn't know what to do, because we just thought he was misbehaving. And we aslo thought that his ear infections were finally gone, because he wasn't complaining about his ears anymore.

Well when we took him in for his check up after the last antibiotics were gone, his doctor noticed that my son had small holes in both of his ears. The doctor told us that the ear infections were gone, but now the reapeted ear infections had left holes, which might cause hearing loss. We were like.."oh no!'' So we took him in to an ear specialist and sure enough, the specialist told us that our son was temporarily moderately deaf in both ears. I was devastated, and upset because his doctor wasn't able to get rid of the ear infections that caused this. So I was so worried, because I thought he was going to be deaf forever. But then the specialist told us that we had 2 choices, to either wait until the holes closed up or put tubes in his ears which required a small surgery.

So we decided to do the tubal surgery, which took a huge chunk of our budget this month. But it was well worth it, because now my baby can hear much better. It was so cute the day he came home from the hospital after the surgery, he told us "thank you for my new ears" He thinks he got new ears...lol. So now I'm worry free and hopefully his ear troubles will be behind him. :)
So now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for some sales, to help pay for the rest of the doctor bills. Wish me luck :)~~~~~
