Sadie's Results...

...are inconclusive.

She still has fluid in her middle ear, but the ENT won't do anything about it until at least 6 mos. old. He wants her to come in every 3-4 weeks to be checked because there is a chance the fluid will still drain on its own. If not, she will need to get tubes in her ears and then, when the fluid drains, they can do more tests.

You're probably wondering why they are waiting on tubes. Well, in order to insert the tubes, Sadie will go under General Anesthesia, and after 6 months of age, the risks associated with surgery are greatly reduced. Therefore, they like to wait until then.

I tried to get more information from the doctor today (if there is something we can do at home, what is the likelihood of it still draining on its own, etc.), but to no avail. So, I called Sadie's pediatrician (btw, for those of you in Denver, we love Stapleton Peds--Drs. Noah and Brandon are awesome!) and they completely support us getting a 2nd opinion from a Pediatric ENT. The earliest available through Children's Hospital is October 4th, so we'll be waiting until then!

Now, the only stress is getting Brian home from Texas BEFORE the hurricane hits. His original flight is cancelled, and he's scheduled for tomorrow morning, pending the Dallas airport doesn't close earlier than 7 a.m. (it's already cancelled all flights after 10 am tomorrow).
