Dr. Walley says that he definitely still has fluid in his middle ear. He said it's not infected, but that doesn't mean that it won't get infected. We aren't sure if it's that the fluid isn't clearing up all the way OR if the fluid just keeps coming back. Nevertheless, he wants us to schedule a consultation with an ENT to put us on a timeline. Dr. W said he's more comfortable with us getting set up now instead of waiting for another ear infection. He said the ENT will basically say if Andrew can't get rid of the fluid by a certain date or gets another infection by a certain date then we will be looking at tubes.
I jokingly blame it all on Nick. Nick has messed up eustachian tubes and constantly had ear infections as a child. I, on the other hand, had my first ear infection this year. Both Peyton and Andrew have one ear that always gets infected and the fluid can't drain, but the other ear is "normal". I tell everyone the messed up ear comes from Nick and the normal ear comes from me. Don't fault me...I have to take 'em as I can get 'em. They get all of their other abnormalities from ME! :)

I blame all my kids allergy problems on Mark...like you, all their other "flaws" seemingly come from me!! :)
What is cracking me up is you said that Andrew's MIDDLE ear was infected.....middle?!?!?! That is cracking me up b/c I keep picturing a third ear!!! HA! Hope that he gets better and doesn't need the tubes. LOVE U
