About two
months ago I began to notice Zackary was having a hard time hearing me. When
he would not respond I naturally figured he was tuning me out. I would get
stern with him and tell him he needed to "tune into my voice". Then one day he
told me I was speaking too softly. Well, I am a momma that speaks to be heard
the first time! So I knew something was up.
Two weeks ago I had a visit for him to the Dr. for a 5 year well check of sorts. Minus any shots. At that time I explained to Dr. Ross what was going on with him having a hard time hearing. He had his nurses administer the regular hearing test they do for a Kindergarten physical. Zack failed that. Dr. Ross wanted us to see an ENT.
We had his appointment with the ENT, Dr. Rielly, this past Monday. Zack and I liked him a lot, though I think I could be his mother! It's not that I am old, he is just that young looking. ;)
This office did another hearing test, fail again. There is so much thick fluid his eardrums do not even move at all when sound goes in! Apparently it is like Zack is wearing ear plugs AND underwater!
So, next Wednesday, October 3rd he will have surgery to remove the fluid, put in a second set of tubes and remove his adnoids (sp?).
Zack knows he will be having surgery, just not what day yet. I'll tell him as it gets closer.
