Inner Tubes!

As many of you know Max has been having some hearing problems since about November of last year. He first started complaining about headaches and I couldn't figure out what would be causing them. Then one day Zac was talking to Max, but his head was turned and I could tell that Max had no idea that Zac was talking to him. So I took him to the doctor, and sure enough he had fluid in his ears. The next several months consisted of many antibiotics and none of them worked. His hearing was getting so bad that unless he was looking at you and you were near his ear he couldn't hear you. The T.V. had to be at full decibel and everyone had to yell. We decided to consult an ENT doc, who confirmed that he had fluid about the consistency of peanut butter in both ears. So Wednesday he went in and had tubes put in his ears. He did really well and was very brave. He woke up from the anesthesia crying and saying that his ear hurt, but he got over it quickly and the nurses were impressed by how well he did. It is amazing how great they work, and he is so excited that he can hear again. He keeps covering his ears and saying "It's too loud!" How great is modern medicine!
