Good Morning!

I have so much to share. I feel like I will be doing a flashback for the whole month of January to tell you guys about our December. In November we found out that Justin lost hearing in both his ears due to fluid build up. He lost 30% of his hearing in his right ear and 50% of his hearing in his left ear. He kept complaining that he couldn’t hear us that much and was having trouble hearing the teachers. I didn’t take what he said lightly. I first took him to his pediatrician to see his take on things. He thought maybe it could be an ear infection and allergies. But after checking his ears it wasn’t an ear infection. 
So he placed him on Flonase for a month and then recommended after that month on the Flonase if it does not work contact an ENT. I was praying the Flonase worked. Everyday at bedtime I made sure Justin did what he was suppose to. I would say “Justin did you inhale the Flonase” and his response as usual would be ” Yes, mom I did”. To make sure the Flonase worked I even cleaned out his ears every couple of days hoping that would help with his hearing. It would be the first day in November that I would receive a phone call from the school nurse. She informed me that Justin failed his in school hearing test. I informed her I was already on it and I’m just waiting to see the ENT specialist. I scheduled an appt with an ENT specialist but we weren’t scheduled to be seen until the third week in November. 
That seemed like a really long time being that he failed his hearing test. So I searched my desk for the ENT specialist list his pediatrician gave me and decided to call another specialist on the list. I called the specialist office and explained everything to his receptionist and she said we can see him tomorrow. I was so happy! Yes, we can finally find out what is going on with his hearing. 
Because I have to get ready for my day I will share what happen at the doctor’s appt. tomorrow. I hope you all enjoy your day!
