Haley, I found out I had a heart murmur after I had children. I had been to many drs. over the years and no one ever caught it. Till today they hear it sometimes, and other times they don't.

I don't blame you to be pissed at the dr. because of the ear fluid. I will say a pray that he does not have any permanent hearing loss in his ear.. Good luck tonight...

i also found this on ear infections / fluid

Recurrent ear infections can lead to hearing loss as well. During these infections, a child's middle ear can fill with fluid that becomes infected. The fluid, which often remains in the ear for weeks after the infection is gone, can cause both temporary hearing loss (because it's hard to hear through an ear filled with fluid) and permanent hearing loss (since the fluid can erode or scar the eardrum over time).

If your baby has recurrent ear infections or middle ear fluid, his doctor may recommend a hearing test. She may also recommend inserting tubes into your baby's eardrums so that any fluid that accumulates behind them will be able to drain out.

I know how fustrating it is do have a child with bad ear infections. I had a friend that had 3 daughters that all went through this. I'm glad to hear that Micah is finally going to get his tubes in. It will help get that fluid and infection out and he'll feel better.

I, too, think that it's a good idea to find a new doctor. You've certainly gone around enough times with this one. I hope that you find a really good one. Hugs, Haley!

It's good everything is in motion now so poor Micah can be taken care of. I'd be upset with the Drs too and would go and talk with a few before I'd make a decision. Micah is going to feel so much better with the tubes.
