Add us to the long list of parents with littles suffering from ear infections. Sofia has had chronic, bilateral ear infections starting in September. Just weeks before her 3rd birthday. Oddly, this should be the age where any ear infections start decreasing instead of starting up. After months of failed attempts, we were revered to an ENT.
We had the appointment with the ENT today to test her hearing and middle ear. She’s flat lined on the left ear and has a negative reading in the right which means she has a vacuum created by all the fluid. Our recommendation is tubes in both ears.
I understand this is a very routine procedure, in and out. However, they will put her under and I don’t think there’s anything more nerve racking than having your baby under anesthetic and away from you. I had a great vibe with the doctor, I’m great flu for that.
