Aacck!
Ear aches are no fun. Jr's had more than his fair share of 'em. And likely had trouble for years before we caught on.
He was in speech therapy before he started school. Therapist told us to get his hearing checked. She had noticed that he was basically reading her lips. When she covered her mouth, he could no longer say the word.
Got him tested. Found out he was hearing a normal speaking voice like a whisper. That was the first round of tubes.
Yikes! That's pretty scary stuff...
I guess we got lucky - no one with chronic ear problems in my family. I knew other families where at least one kid had ear ache after ear ache all through their childhood. Ugh.
thegirl has only had one or two ear infections, and theboys have had one each... we feel blessed by that...
