Happy and Healthy!

For about the past year and a bit myself and my husband have been fighting with the Docs for someone to believe when we said"MIKE CAN NOT HEAR"!. One doc will say "Oh yes there is fluid in his ears", then the other will say there is not! It was so hard to see mike standing so close to the TV to just be able to hear it. You could be talking to him and he would not hear a word you said. A lot of people just figured that he was being a typical 4 year and having that so called selective hearing. But when your you child starts to cup his ears to be able to hear, and watches your mouth to be able to understand what you are saying, I think the whole selective hearing thing goes right out the door! So finally about 4 months ago I told our doc that enough was enough and I wanted for him to see an Ear, Nose and Throat Spec. So of Mike went to see the Doc and he was like "Oh my gosh, how long has he been like this for" I was like ummm a year. He was so mad that he called right over to Dr. Storey's office and told him right on the phone that this kid needs tubs asap...in the back of my mind i was thinking..."hmmm, I like this guy". So this past Friday Mike finally got his ears dealt with along with his tonsils and adenoids removed. He was not a very happy little man when he woke up to say the least. But when he had a good sleep after and 9 popsicles later, he was up roaring around the room and playing in the kids room across from his room in the Hospital.He thought it was great to be able to lay in bed all day and watch cartoons, eat popsicles and ice cream and have people coming to see him bring presents in hand. He was on cloud 9 for a day and a half. He had his new books from Grandma and Grandpa. New game and books from Nana and Papa. New game from Aunty Laura and Uncle Chris, and a new Transformer from Mom and dad. He actually had a great time in the hospital, play and watch tv all day...who wouldn't...haha! Watching tv all day at home just does not happen! He is like a new kid. It is so nice to talk to him and he be able to hear you, not stand 3 inches from the tv just to be able to hear, or walking around with his hands cupping his ears to stream the sound better to his ear. I am so thank full for the Doctors and Nurses that took such great care of Mike. He is so much better and is back to being Happy and Healthy!
