ENT appointment

Brandon went to the ENT today. After he had his fourth ear infection in two months the pediatrician suggested we go. Brandon has been ear infection free now for a month and Dr. Tavill, the ENT who we saw today, said his ears are nice and clear. He thinks he should be okay now. At this time Brandon doesn't need tubes. He wants to see us back in two months. Brandon did have a small cyst inside his left ear that Dr. Tavill removed while we were there. Brandon was hysterical the whole time the doctor was looking in his ears and removing the cyst and continued to be when he was done. After Brandon saw Dr. Tavill he had a hearing test done since his ears were clear. He passed it with no problem. He sat on my lap in a sound proof room and the audiologist made different noises on three different speakers (one on Brandon's left, one on his right, and one in front of him). He had to look towards each speaker when he heard the sound which he was able to do. She also tried to put something in his ears to test his hearing but he wouldn't let her have anything to do with that.

Brandon has been sleeping through the night again the past two nights. I think putting him back on the prevacid was a good decision. Dr. Tavill also said he should stay on it because a lot of babies with reflux get ear infections.
