Michael went back to the ENT today for a follow up. He had his tubes put in over two years ago (February 22, 2010). We knew that the left tube had already fallen out. It was actually out last February when we went for a one year check. The right tube was still in place as of last Thanksgiving. But today it was no longer in place - it was still in his ear sitting in some ear wax, but it had served it's purpose. The doctor pulled it out (along with a decent amount of ear wax). (We brought the tube home.) He checked his hearing and confirmed that everything was good. He no longer needs to wear his ear plugs around water! We were fortunate that both fell out on their own as it would have required another surgery to remove them. The doctors kept complimenting him on how well he followed instructions and how patient he was.
Ryan's wound is healing. He refused to wear the band aid after Monday. Despite three attempts to reapply it he kept taking it off at day care. He would just hand it back to his teachers. Tomorrow we'll start applying ointment to help prevent scarring. Hopefully, it will be cleared up before 18 month pictures!
