Well Ricky flunked the hearing test today. This was his first test post ear tubes.
There were some positive signs...
1) No fluid in the ears
2) No infection
3) Hearing did improve from pre-tube hearing test.
Do we need to worry yet? They are telling me not yet. His ears can still be adjusting to the tubes. It could be a structural defect or it could be a permanent hearing loss. I'm not going to worry about it for now because I know he can hear. If it is a hearing loss, I think it is minor. Hopefully it won't affect his speech. It is hard to test kids at this age.
We go back in three months for another test.
We also talked to them about Ricky's constant sinus issues. Well they said we need to be on antibiotics for 3 weeks (not the two we were doing). So we have started another round of antibiotics. This kiddo has been on them more than he has been off them. We also are trying Nasonex (sp?). Hopefully this will clear up the constant gunk and coughing we have experienced since we have had him.
I will try to post some updated pictures this weekend!

Micah's had sinus issues since he had his ear tubes in. He's scheduled for a hearing test next week. We've got our fingers crossed. Sending hugs to Ricky.
interesting. I would not worry yet.
Paige has had the same sinus issues since we met her in China. She might need tubes soon, too.
