It’s been almost a year and a half since Avery had her ear-tube surgery. So how’s she doing? A trip to her ENT doc today revealed that the ear tubes are still in and will likely fall out this fall or winter. (They typically stay in place between 6 and 24 months.) We know from past tests and our own observation that her hearing is back to normal, and her speech is age-appropriate, also. We have our first parent-teacher conference of the school year in two weeks, so we’ll know more then – but her teachers also report that she’s doing well.

Sometimes Avery will be in the middle of a conversation – going on and on about something – and I’m struck with how clear she’s talking and how far she’s come. It’s so nice to not have to worry anymore!
