We took Ansley back to the pediatrician today for a re-check on her left ear, which we found out was infected last Monday. Unfortunately, it had not cleared up and now the right ear is also infected. This is her fourth ear infection in three months. She has a lot of fluid in both ears and it is causing her to not be able to clearly hear high pitch noises or deep low voices. Thankfully, this has not affected her language development and she continues to babble away saying several words. However, we do not want to compromise her hearing by allowing her to continue to develop ear infections that don't subside. We are being referred to Children's South ENT group and will go for a consult with the doctor hopefully next week. We have been encouraged by several friends who have had excellent experiences there. After much prayer, we feel this is the best route for Ansley and we would appreciate your prayers in these next days and weeks ahead as we care for her.
