Ear Infection

Titus went to our pediatrician yesterday and we found out he has an ear infection in his left ear. Today, he had a regularly scheduled appointment with our ENT who also confirmed the ear infection. Since the ear infection is in his left ear and that's the ear he has his cochlear implant, the fluid buildup could cause some other issues if not resolved quickly. Titus had tubes put in his ears over a year ago, but the tube in the left ear has fallen out, therefore allowing the fluid buildup.

We would appreciate your prayers for quick healing of this ear infection and that no other complications would ensue. As a last resort, they could go in and re-insert the tube in his left ear. While this is a very short, minimal risk type of surgery, it would require Titus to undergo anesthesia - and that's always an issue with Titus. The ENT has switched his meds to something more powerful and we will follow-up with the pediatrician in the next few days to check the progress. But I also know that our Heavenly Father can heal faster than the strongest antibiotics. Thanks for your prayers.
