We finally had our appointment at the ENT. Keegan still had fluid behind both of his eardrums and without any hesitation the doctor agreed that he needs tubes as soon as we could get on the schedule.
He did also state what we had a feeling of: that because this is such an important time developmentally, we may see him fall behind other kids his age with his speech. He stated that at this point, we should be catching it at a good enough time where we might be able to correct it without intensive speech therapy, but also said that if this went on much longer than speech therapy would most likely be in out future.
So, we are very pleased that the doctor came to this conclusion as well.
Surgery is planned for October 27, bright and early in the morning... WOOT! WOOT!
I'm just relieved that Keegan will finally start feeling better, and HOPEFULLY start sleeping through the night again! Needless to say, these past 6 weeks have been draining for all three of us (thus it is my excuse for being so negligent of my blog lately)!
Thanks for all of your prayers for my little baby boy!
He is so cute!! Hopefully this will make a positive difference for him and he will be happy and healthy. You will be in our prayers on the 27th.
