In 17 days...

Kai is going to have a whole new lease on life!

The school is going to be checking his hearing, but we decided to also take him to a ENT to check for fluid in his ears. 

I brought him in today, and turns out - he has fluid in both ears.  The doctor explained that it is like he is hearing with his head underwater - you can only imagine how that would be.   He is also having his adenoids taken out too.  He has been such a sickly lil kid in his 19 months.. he never seems to get a break! 

I'm nervous to get this done, but also excited.  He can only speak what he can hear - and in just the 4 weeks that he has been in speech therapy he has come so far - so I can only imagine how he is going to take off now!

So... keep us in your prayers on March 31st!

How exciting Leslie! Hearing clearly is so important to speech development, so I'd imagine that once his ear clear up he'll become quite the chatter box. I just love watching kids develop speech/language skills, it's such an amazing thing! Keep up the great work, sounds like Kai is making huge improvements!
