We met with the ENT on Tuesday about Morgan's ears. The recent round of antibiotics did the trick and when he checked her they were completely clear and healthy. He basically went over the reasons he would do the tubes and the reasons he wouldn't do the tubes and said that Morgan is right in the gray area. The fact that we just went through the peak of cold and flu season could be one of the reasons she was just prone to more infections. With all of the information and the recommendation from the doc we decided to wait a month to see what happens. Hopefully the season change will be on our side and overall Morgan will be healthier. If the pattern continues and the infections come back sooner than later then we will get her in as soon as possible. The many trips to the doctor and the many antibiotics are really a pain to us, but Morgan doesn't seem to be too phased by any of it. We really wanted the decision to be what is best for her and not a convenience for us.
So she's been off the meds since Sunday and here it is 5 days later and she has a snotty nose. But so far I haven't seen her tug at her ears. We may end up back at the doctor next week. We'll see.
