Good news/bad news???

I guess that is the best way to title this post. We got some good news and some bad news today. So what do you want first? The good or the bad? Good you say...OK! We went to the ENT today and they can fix Alan's ear infection problem! Also I was able to get Matt's new suit fixed and the new shirt I got, that super shrank, I was able to return for 2 new shirts! How great is that! We had a wonderfully productive day!! Oh what is that you say....what is the bad news??? Oh yes I forgot about that. :) Bad news is Alan's eardrums are so full of fluid that they are non responsive to air pressure. His hearing is within the "normal" range but at the very bottom of that range. I was talking to a friend of mine that is a Speech Pathologist and she said that at 25 decibels, which is where Alan is at, you can't hear much. But our ENT recommended getting tubes put in Alan's ears and we were able to schedule surgery for Wednesday April 1st. I am so thankful that we were able to get in so quickly. They wanted him to get in fast because the ENT said that Alan will probably have another ear infection in about 2 weeks if we can't get the fluid out of his ears. So that is the good news/bad news for the day. I haven't decided if surgery is good or bad yet. I think it might fall under both categories. Just pray for our little man that everything goes well! They did say that we should see a significant improvement as soon as the fluid starts to drain!! :) Well have a great night! We are off to bed and going to spend tomorrow resting before the craziness of the rest of the week starts. Surgery on Wednesday and my pre-op eye appointment is on Thursday. Fun fun!
