Alex's visit with the ENT

Today Alex had a consultation with the ear, nose and throat doctor - Dr. Haytmanek - the same ENT who performed Ava's Frenectomy (snipped her tongue) last year. He said that it would be in our best interest to have tubes put in Alex's ears and that it should be done asap. He said that if Alex is experiencing seizures that surgery should not be questioned. We scheduled surgery for August 13th in the morning. In the mean time, Alex has been put on a daily antiboiotic to reduce his risk of having an ear infection between now and then. Dr. Haytmanek found fluid in both of his ears today and it's likely that he would develop an ear infection sooner than later.
