Here's the deal, in most families a kid sticks something up their nose or in their ear. The mom takes the kids to the doctor and the doctor removes the object, telling the child not to do it again.
Well, we aren't just ANY family...no, we're the Stewarts...and our well-earned family motto is GO BIG, or GO HOME! So, in true Stewart style, here is how OUR story has played out...
At some undisclosed time Peter sticks something in his ear...likely months ago. Doctor takes a look and thinks it's just wax. We treat if for a month with no results. Doctor looks again...nope, that's not wax but a "foreign object." Doctor refers us to the Pediatric ENT. We go to the ENT, and he confirms that yes there is an object in the ear. He tries to retrieve it, but it appears to have adhered slightly to the eardrum making it extremely painful when he starts messing with it. ENT determines that it is unsafe to remove it in the office for fear that he will burst Peter's eardrum (ouch). So, we are all set for Peter to be put under...yes, you heard me right, he will have to have light anesthesia and then the ENT will carefully remove the object on January 6th.
Poor little guy! He is doing fine, and is not bothered at all by the "object." And so we continue our investment program into the Multicare health system!
Love you Peter. Here's to better hearing in the New Year!

Oh, Jenny!!!! Unbelievable!!!!! Poor guy, poor momma and daddy, poor wallet. I'm tellin' you, you need a punch card:) "10 visits and the 11th one is free" or something like that.
Oh my. Poor Peter! At least it's not bothering him. And you're probably used to the not listening by now anyway, right?
