I almost forgot!!

This one is huge, and to think I almost forgot about it! I have been sick with a cold the past couple of days and my 13 year old was helping with S so I could rest. I came downstairs and she knew I wasn't feeling well. She said to her sister, "Let's go outside 'cause mommy doesn't feel good." Did I hear that right? She understood that I didn't feel well and knew enough to be considerate. This is amazing! This is what I was talking about when I said she has increased her emotional vocabulary. Oh, I so want this to be a part of BIT because I will get her more treatment. The Listening Program can also have an effect.

When she went to the Pediatric ENT for an audiogram, they noticed a huge clog of hardened ear wax in her right ear. The ENT said it would be too risky and traumatic to dig it out and that she should undergo SURGERY for it!!! I told him I would talk with the ped about it and she suggested trying the Debrox drops first. Little did I know that everytime she dug out wax at the office, she was risking rupturing the eardrum!

I have been putting drops in her ears for almost a week. I hope and pray that it does the trick and she avoids surgery. I will look for every other treatment before submitting to anesthesia.

***occasionally I will go back and correct typos, but most of the time I'm lucky if I have time to post a new entry. So I actually do pride myself on spelling,, even though it's not obvious here!
