Update on R. ENT

April 15, 2004

HI Jodi:-)

Please take for an ENT evaluation. I now with my son we waited until

he was two to have tubes put in his ears because we were afraid. I wish we

had done it sooner. He had had speech delays that steamed from the

recurrent ear infections. They do not hear properly for 1-3 months after

the infection is gone because there is still excess fluid the body is trying

to get rid of in the ear. They hear through " water. " Since, he has also

been Dx with Sensory integration problems that have an auditory component.

Please get evaluated.

I think you are doing a wonderful service for others on this list serve with

all your advice and heart felt support.
