So the last week has been a pretty stressful one to say the least. Robert had apparently bumped or scraped his medpor ear sometime last week which made it ooze a orange/white slimy substance. During bath time I gently pushed around it trying to get everything out and took pictures and sent Dr. Reinisch an email.
Friday was his 4 year old shots, and his brothers physical and shots for junior high. Robert had a low grade fever and both him and his brother had to get four shots each. Not a fun time at the doctors.
After talking to Dr. Reinisch on Saturday morning Roberts ear was looking much better and had no more drainage. By Sunday it had a nice shape to it and looked the best I had ever seen it. I wish had taken some pictures Sunday afternoon because last night Robert bonked his medpor ear on the cupboard in the kitchen and split the top open. He was in there less than a second and Tom and I feel awful and were in total disbelief and shock. Of course we sent Dr. Reinisch more pictures and put some Vaseline on it to keep it shut and hope it clots up and didn't cause any damage. AUGHHHHHHHHH! Things have to get better sometime right?
We have scheduled Roberts stage 2 in the beginning of August. We are hoping to head down south prior and give our family a well deserved trip to Disneyland!!!!!
I am attaching photos of Roberts ear when it had the drainage, the back of the left ear now and after he split it. Not trying to be graphic, this is for other parents that go through this can see.
