This was going to be an update about all of Tyler's doctors appointments, but his big, the occupational therapy evaluation was changed to next week. So before I forget I decided I would do a quick post about the other two.
On Monday Tyler saw an ENT to see what causing his hearing loss. Besides having a cold, his ears still look great. The doctor thought there were four possibilities. Number 1 - there was some fluid in there that was causing is it that our pediatrician didn't see. Number 2 - that there is some sticky fluid that is very hard to see in there without a microscope. Number 3 - that the bone is getting in the way causing the hearing loss (this is what my pediatrician thinks). Number 4 - that its caused by nerve damage (although this is the less likely). He wants Tyler to come back in after a months time to see if its possibility number 1 or number 2. He will also have another hearing test at that time. If there is still hearing loss we will probably wait another month before we move toward surgery or any other options that are a little more invasive. Since Tyler can hear fine out of his right ear and it isn't affecting anything the doctor is fine with taking his time. I am too.
Yesterday Tyler had another PT appointment. He was quite cooperative and did very well for his therapist. Which I was glad to hear because we had a very hard day at home. After his OT appointment next week we will determine if we will keep going with his PT or not.
So those are the updates. Besides that life is busy but good. We have our harder days with four year old attitude, but for the most part are boys are pretty great.
