On top of being sick I am frustrated and worried about Liam. On Friday night I was making dinner, Liam was crawling around on the floor playing and Chloe came in to play with him. They were playing together and it was soooo cute :) but then the nice playing goes to hell because Liam starts screaming.. I didn't know what happen but Chloe was moving the stools around so I though maybe she got his hand with one or with the wheel of the highchair. Then she tells us that she is sorry because she put something in his ear. I don't know what she was thinking or why she would try to put things in his ear but she found a twist tie from the loaf of bread on the counter and put it in his ear. We panicked a little at first and were very upset with her but then he seemed to be fine. Saturday afternoon I noticed a little dried up blood in his ear, wanted to rush him to the hospital but he still didnt seem like it bothered him so I didn't make a big deal of it. Well since I was going to take him to the doctor for his cold and diaper rash today I talked with the dr about the ear. She checked it out and our worst fears are real... because of what happen Liam has a hole in his eardrum :( There is a large build up of blood in his ear that the dr wants to let go and see if it will push its way out then we are going to go back in 3 weeks to take a look. She said that it can heal up on its own but it would take months to heal and it all depends on how big the hole is. If it doesn't heal up on its own he will need surgery to reconstruct his eardrum ugh! and no matter which way it goes he will need to continually see a speech therapist and have hearing tests to make sure that this doesn't affect his speech or hearing and if it does in order to help the problem. I just pray that its not the worst case scenario and that his eardrum heals quickly and we don't have any problems with his hearing and speech. I especially worry about that because he is at the age where Chloe started to make more noises and was trying to say things and he is doing the same thing. Yesterday he said "Dada" for the first time!!! Which was more exciting for Sean of course LOL but it secretly haha makes me sooo happy too because of course its his first word and I know that how much we talk with him helps him learn and I love teaching my kids and watching them learn new things :) now we are working on Momma!! :) He is always crawling around the house saying ummmmaaa ummmmaaa lol so hes needs to get things changed a little and say maaaamaaa :)
well I guess if I wanted to say more I shouldn't have taken my medicine so soon because I am ready to fall asleep now...here's to getting a good night sleep so maybe I will feel better tomorrow :)
