Ear, Nose and Throat

Owyn went to the ENT Dr today. He has had many, many ear infections as well as breathing issues. We finally got he magic three infections in six months so we got the referral.

I picked him up early from day care, we had to wake him from his nap. He was cheerful about the whole thing, happy to see Daddy. We headed over to the hospital and found the Dr's office on the first try. Yeah us!

We got checked in with no issues. A nurse took us in and got some history on the little boy. We waited for awhile and Owyn got bored so we washed his hands, nine times. Then I got him some water. He had fun drinking for about five minutes. Finally, a PA came in and asked us pretty much all of the same questions as the nurse.

I asked if we could get a hearing test done and they took us in. Owyn started out being fairly cooperative but lost it half way through so they were unable to complete the tests. She stuck a probe in his ear which measured the resistance of the ear drum. Both ears had fluid build up behind them so he definitely has hearing loss.

After the audiologist it was back to the office to wait for the Dr. He came in, looked in Owyn's orifices and got right to the point. Tubes and adenoids out. We are going to get it done by the end of the month.

Rhys was scheduled to see him next week but he let us reschedule him for tomorrow, so we will see how his head is.
