We took Hunter to his ENT appointment this afternoon. Poor thing has fluid in his right ear that isn't draining and causing the chronic ear infections. Due the fluid, he is also having difficulty hearing from his right ear. The doctor recommended that he get tubes in his ears (which we expected). We are now awaiting a phone call from the scheduling person to see when we get this procedure done.
I wish Hunter didn't need the tubes as all. It breaks my heart for him to be in pain. The good news is that the tubes are supposed to be a relatively simple procedure that can only benefit him in the long run.

On another note - I received an email yesterday from Myriam, the genetic counselor who arranged the testing for Kenton. She said that the results should be ready by tomorrow. If we don't hear anything, she will call the lab first thing Friday morning so we will know before the weekend (hopefully).
I have such mixed emotions about hearing these results. I love my world of denial and know that everything will become a reality once we hear the results. We are preparing ourselves for the worst, but praying and hoping for the best. Please pray for our peace and strength with the results and the miracle of a perfectly healthy baby

Kara and Brett has ear tubes more than once. They were life savers. The procedure was quick and with minimal trauma to all of us:) I think you will be really happy with how much it helps Hunter.
