More hearing tests...
Dear Nicky,
This morning Tim came over for a makeup session. The timing was perfect, as you had just woken up from a nap. Tim worked you hard and you participated as best as you could, and uncomplainingly. You are really a strong spirited kid to put up with this constant bombardment of therapy. After Tim left, you quickly pounded some ounces then we got in the car and headed for the ENT for your hearing exam. You didn't do terrible, but apparently you've got fluid in your ears, which makes it hard for you to discern where sound is coming from. Also, fluid keeps your eardrums from vibrating properly, so the doc removed a great wad of gunk from deep inside your ears where we can't get at it. He said come back in a couple months. If the fluid persists, then it's time to consider tubes. Apparently, it's a very simple procedure, very beneficial, with very little downside. Up for another time under the gas, old pal? Gosh, kid what next, right?
Love,
Dad

It's important to get that fluid out. It affects hearing, and thus, speech development.
Our son is eight, and has had five sets of tubes. His vocalizations always increased noticeable right after tubes went in. I'm surprised they're waiting several months to check that.
