Shea’s hearing is PERFECT!!!!

Shea’s hearing is PERFECT!!!!

Shea had an appt with the ear, nose, and throat dr today, and the audiologist said his hearing test was PERFECT! (She used the word – perfect!)

The ENT Dr. Johnson is very happy with Shea’s ears too. The tube is gone from his left ear. We actually went home with it, and Shea wants to bring it for show-and-tell. The dr picked it out of some wax in Shea’s ear. :-p It was had been out of the ear drum 2 months ago, but at that time, Shea had some fluid and some hearing loss in that ear. The good new is that the fluid went away on its own, and Dr. Johnson thinks he’s growing out of the ear issues! Yay!

The tube in the right ear is still in place, and the dr thought he might get another 4 months out of it. We’ll take Shea back in the fall to see him and make sure things still look good and that the other tube works its way out.

I cannot tell you how stunned I was to hear that everything looked good. After having the fluid behind his left ear a couple of months ago, I was just sure he’d have to have another tube put in. To hear this was AWESOME! Shea celebrated with some cookies from the vending machine. And although he was sad that he and I couldn’t stay home today and play PlayStation, he was happy to make it to school in time for lunch and recess.

God is good!
