Kate recently failed a middle ear hearing test.\u00c2\u00a0 Yesterday, Will complained that his left ear (his problem ear) hurt and that he couldn’t hear out of it.\u00c2\u00a0 I called the doc; Paul took them this afternoon while I was teaching.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the story that unfolded for me when I got home:<\/p>\n
Paul: Will’s ear tube fell out.<\/p>\n
Me: Wow, already?<\/p>\n
Paul: Except he put it back in.<\/p>\n
Me: What?<\/p>\n
Paul: Tell Mommy about your tube, Will.<\/p>\n
Will: My tube fell out after lunch.\u00c2\u00a0 I put it back.\u00c2\u00a0 Then the doctor found it.<\/p>\n
Me: You put the ear tube back in your ear?\u00c2\u00a0 Just pushed it in?<\/p>\n
Will: Yes, I put it back in.\u00c2\u00a0 A lot of earwax pushed it out.<\/p>\n
Paul: The doctor said the hole will be around for a few more weeks, maybe months.\u00c2\u00a0 There is fluid inside the eardrum, though.\u00c2\u00a0 We just have to watch it and keep using his ear drops.<\/p>\n
Me: Will, next time something falls out of your head, put it in your pocket and tell an adult before you put it in your ear, okay?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
