DJ's 1 Year Ear Check Up...

Dave took DJ to his 1 year check up for his tubes on Monday and came home with some great news!

The tubes did their job!

The tubes have fallen out but they are resting in his ear canals, The Dr didn't want to go in and get them because DJ hates having his ears touched and he gets very squirmy. Dr said that they will make their way out eventually.

They did a few hearing tests, one of which DJ had to wear head phones and put blocks in a bucket every time he heard a sound. He got 100% on that one and did great on the other tests.

He can now go swimming and get his ears wet. So this summer we will be in the pool as long as he doesn't have anymore ear infections!!!

Also his speech is getting a lot better since he started his Speech Therapy Sessions. I cant believe how much he has learned in just the 3-4 months of his Speech Therapy! We already have an appt with the school district for his ST after he turns 3 years old, because after 3 years old they can go through the school district for Speech Therapy. Also he got bumped up to the top of the list for Early Head Start!!!

I'm just so proud of him and all the work that he is doing!
