Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 What a success!!!!! Dr. Shah is the best ENT! ' ear looks amazing. The otoplasty will now let us put a hearing aid in his right ear. tried to pick at his ear the first day, but now has left it alone. Every once in a while, he tries to play with the stitches, but nothing major. He was almost discharged that same day (he also had ear tubes again & dental work)! We stayed over night just to make sure because he was so sleepy we were nervous. He woke up in the morning when Dr. Shah removed his bandages and played as if nothing happened. He didn't nap the entire day even on the Tylenol w/ codeine! I am so happy we did this. His ear looks almost " normal " . The only thing is he has no ear lobe, but we were not adding any ear or cartilage because he is only 2 1/2. So, now we are crossing our fingers that we may get some responses with two hearing aids. Wish us luck! Happy as can be Steffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 steffi, Way to go !!!! Did he not have a moderate to severe hearing loss? I don't remember. He has had a big change hopefully either for the better or the worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
