I took Carli & Gretta to the ENT in Grand Rapids. Right now Carli's ears look good and hopefully we don't have to do anything until her cleft palate gets fixed.
Gretta's right ear doesn't have any ear drum and her left ear has a thin tympanic membrane that is retracted. So both have big problems, but neither are really fixable at this time. You know it's complicated when the pediatric ENT leans back in his seat to think about what to do next. Her right ear is still a little moist, so she has to have ear drops for 7 days. She hates ear drops, but is old enough to understand they are important. It makes me so sad for her to have to deal with such big challenges. Neither problem is going to be fixed anytime soon, so I am sure this challenge will continue for a while.
