Not good Diana, he has fluid build up in both ears have to take him back in a couple of weeks for them to decide if he needs tubes in his ears... i'm flipping out about all this.... just depressing.

Micah will be fine. Just listen to his doctor. You're the Mom and you can't just "flip" out. Take a deep breath and be thankful that it's only an earache. Just think of all the things that other mothers are dealing with with children that are very, very sick. You CAN handle an earache and what it takes to put the tubes in. Micah's going to be just fine and back to healthy in no time. We've all dealt with things like this with our own children.

Don't worry about the tubes in the ears, not a big deal today.
My son had them 30 years ago and it was nothing.
I know you can't help but worry but know that we are all praying.

My brother had tubes put in when he was a kid also. That was 30 years ago. Im sure its easier now, but it was easy back then too! I just hope Micah gets better now and the tubes help prevent him from getting this bad of an ear infection again. Poor baby!

Donna its not so much the tubes, i don't like the idea of them putting him under, there are alot of risk for a child to be put under, under the age of 2 years old that i wasn't aware of...

Haley, the risks of damage from the ear infection is probably much higher!

Sorry to hear that he's not feeling well - I hope the problem clears up quickly for him.

That's probably true. Without having this done he could possibly have some hearing loss.

I know it is scary but the time spent under is so short.
He could lose his hearing. My son had it done at 18 months old, the first time.
When he turned 6, the teacher said he was retarded, took him back to the Doctor and he had lost quite a bit of his hearig, they put tubes in again and he was fine.
Good Luck, more prayers for you.

Thanks Donna, i still don't know why the doctor wants me to wait til dec 26 th,, he only told me to see if the fluid dries up in his ear on its own, but why so long, i think i'm going to move his apt up... he is scratching the hell out of that one ear..
