Dr. ENT, Please Grant My Wish

We went to the ENT this morning and also met with the audiologist to check Samantha's hearing. She closed us in a sound-proof room playing sounds from both sides while Sammie looked in that direction or put blocks on pegs when she heard the sounds. There was also a window for Ms. Amber to look in and see the reactions on Sammie's face which told that she heard a sound. She also checked her ears.
Results: Some redness and fluid in left ear (the infected one), Normal hearing, Normal speech, Left ear is oddly more sensitive to sound than right one.
Weight: 27 pounds

Then we met with Dr. Jones. I immediately told him I wanted him to fix her.... without tubes and we wanted another resort. He looked at her ears and looked at her history that I wrote down (thanks to the blog). He goes by 6 infections in one year and said that tubes just buy time for kids to get older, because once they're about 5 or 6 they usually don't have ear infections. I told him that she doesn't get fevers or isn't in severe pain and after checking her ears and agreeing with the audiologist's results, he said that Sammie doesn't NEED tubes. We'll just have to deal with her if/when she gets them until the summer time (after virus season). He also changed her antibiotic, stating that it's not helping her much. It'll go for 14 days, taking us into Breckenridge!
I got the best picture of the day when we were leaving the building. There was a waterfall with some penny-wishes in it and I just so happened to have ONE penny left in my wallet, since Sam cleaned it out putting all my change into the jar, and she was able to throw that one in. My love. You know what Mama's wish is!
