Back in October Maya saw an ear specialist, due to constant ear infections and glue ear, who recommended that she have grommets (you can read that post here). I decided to take a wait and see approach but wondered if I was doing the right thing. Perhaps she would find relief with the grommets and my wait and see approach was delaying this?
I decided to see a second specialist, whom we saw at the start of December, and by then her left ear had cleared. He wanted Maya to have some hearing tests before he would decide any course of action. The hearing tests were a few days later and by then her right ear had also cleared. The tests revealed that her hearing was normal, so there was no longer any need for grommets.
The plan now is for Maya to have regular hearing tests throughout 2011 to make sure her hearing remains OK. And I hope 2011 is a better year for us in terms of illnesses. I hope her immune system is now more capable of dealing with the onslaught of illnesses from child care and we don't see a repeat of the constant illnesses we had this year.
