Ear Troubles....again

As most of you know, Kellen has had lots of problems with ear infections. It appeared that the problems were a thing of the past, but unfortunately, the ear infections have returned. Since Christmas, Kellen has had back-to-back colds which leads to ear infections. The tubes have come out of his ears which is causing the ear infections to be pretty bad. Today, his specialist advised us that once again, Kellen needs to have surgery on his ears and have tubes put in again. Poor kid....I hate the idea of him having another surgery, especially after seeing how rough it was on him last time. However, he needs to have it done to stop the pain and discomfort he is always feeling, and to bring his hearing levels back to normal. So, right after his birthday party, Kellen is scheduled for his surgery on March 7....not quite the birthday present he was hoping for!
