I thought I would just keep everyone in the loop about how Kellen is doing. He continues to have a double ear infection and his ears supposedly look pretty bad. His ear drums are bulging and are super red. He had a hearing test last week and it turns out that he has temporarily lost 40% of his hearing due to these ear infections. He is scheduled for surgery on October 26 to have tubes put into both ears. In the meantime, he continues to be on antibiotics (this is his 4th round in 2 months) and in alot of pain. He keeps grabbing his ears and saying "ouch"....poor little guy. They also said that there is a chance that his ear drums may rupture before his surgery....so, needless to say, we are all looking forward to the surgery day! (Even though I know I'll be a nervous wreck as he has to be put under general anesthesia).
Today, Kellen had his 18 month check up. He is hitting all of his milestones and is ahead of most of them! He is 30 pounds now and 34 1/2 inches which puts him way above the 100th percentile for height! The doctor can't believe how big he is for his age and thinks he will be a very tall guy when he grows up!
