here we go again...

Cooper had his follow-up with the ENT dr on Thursday and he said the ears looked good except the left tube (the one that was infected) still had some blockage so continue the drops. Wouldn't you know, Friday evening his right ear started draining so we did the drops in both ears over the weekend but the drainage slowly got worse. yesterday I called the ENT dr and he put us back on the oral antibiotics - his right ear is now fully infected. ug... the frustration just makes me want to scream!!!! not to mention the loss of hope...

So with all the ear issues and eye issues, I've come up with a plan. I'm going to try to piece together all the visits to the drs, specialists, etc. with all of the meds, OTC and Rx, that he's been given or on for the past 10 months and take it all to the pediatrician. I just feel like there's a piece missing - the cause. I think everything has been approached as "how do we treat this?" instead of "how do we keep it from happening?" Linda thinks it's allergies and I should take him to an allergist, although we're not sure if they'll see him at this age. So I'm hoping by talking to the pediatrician, maybe we'll get somewhere. Since the tube surgery failed to fix the issues, I think we need to find hope somewhere else.
