Do you hear what I hear?

If you are Peter, you probably can't hear what I hear. Last month Peter was complaining of ear pain. I took him to the pediatrician and sure enough, he had an ear infection in his left ear. When the doctor looked in his other ear he revealed that Pete's ear was almost completely sealed with wax...YUCK! It's no wonder it feels like he can't hear me. So we have been going through 3 weeks of nightly drops, flushing, etc to try to resolve the matter. Yesterday we were back at the doctor and after careful looking the doctor said, "I think we have a foreign body in there." So, on Monday we have an appointment with an ENT to extract the object and hopefully return his hearing to normal...we'll see. Any guesses on what's in there? I'm putting my money on a bead. After this year, I think we need to add a special line item to our monthly budget...."Absurd Medical Mysteries."

OMG, that is an ADORABLE photo of Peter. I hope Monday is easy peasy, and can't wait to hear what is in there. I hope you save it, and maybe stick it in a shadow box or something crafty like that. : )

What a great picture of your handsome man! I say it might be a raisin. Bella put one of those up her nose one time. Gross!
We'll be thinking of you today! XOXO
