Trey went back to the ENT specialist today for a follow-up appointment. Sure enough, we discovered yet another ear infection. Poor little guy! So, the doctor officially decided that Trey needs tubes. We scheduled the surgery for February 20. It is supposed to be a relatively easy procedure these days - 10 or 15 minutes with almost no recovery time. So hopefully it will go well!
We are relieved, in a way, that the doctor has ordered us to go forward with tubes. We are tired of ear infections! Little Trey has basically had one a month for the last six months. While he rarely complains, he has to be uncomfortable. And we are hopeful, too, that it will only improve his speech - once he can truly *hear*, we're sure he'll start talking soon. Today, Trey waved his hand in the air, and Mommy swore he tried to say "bye-bye," only it came out "dye-dye." So we're betting he'll get it right after being able to distinguish "b"s and "d"s. Trey is destined to be a big talker. After all, with two parents who talk for a living and a grandmother who was nicknamed Amazon in junior high (by her future husband, nonetheless) because her mouth was as big as the Amazon, could we expect anything else?
