Cooper had his follow up with Dr. Clarke, his ear Dr. yesterday after school. Everything checked out okay. They were concerned with his hearing because he still has fluid in that ear they took the tube out of but he passed the hearing test with flying colors. I thought maybe this is why he doesn't listen to me:) The Dr. confirmed my thoughts, he just ignores me.
He did not have an infection so that has cleared up with the antibiotics from last week. He wants to recheck him in a couple months for his ears. He has had one infection since getting his tubes out and the Dr. said if he gets another one he wants us to come back in for an evaluation to possibly get another set of tubes...Please pray that we don't have to go through that again!
He also wants to check on his sinuses when we come back again in a couple months. Cooper has been so congested and keeps battling that and coughs. If he seems to be still having trouble with that at the next visit he wants to do a CT scan to look at his sinuses to rule out anything that could be causing it. If we do that and do nasal spray and it's not getting better than it's allergies and he needs to go to an allergist along with his older brother!
What is it with allergies. Seems kids these days have so many allergies. Luckily, I have not had this experience, so I do not know what it feels like. That is also my downfall because I don't know how it feels! I just know they feel awful and they are miserable! Poor Charlie usually comes in eyes watering, sneezing so bad his knows starts bleeding after a day of doing yard work. The boys got their dads allergies. I don't know if they are worse here than MN but they definitely have a longer season of it!
So I am praying that Cooper's ears will be fine next time we go back and we can also get this allergy-sinus thing under control.
