I've posted before about how Henry gets ear infections really often. Well, yesterday Mike and I took him to an ear-nose-throat specialist, and the verdict is that he needs tubes. Which will be a very good thing for him, not just to help with the ear infections, but because it turns out that all the fluid that's stuck in his ears has made it so he hears things like he's, well, under water. Which is probably why, at almost 14 months, the only thing he really says with regularity is "uh oh." And since fluid in the ears affects balance, it's also probably why he isn't walking yet.
The first available time for the doctor isn't for three weeks, and now that we know what the problem is and how to fix it, three weeks feels like such a long time. How many words could he have learned in that time? How many steps could he have taken? I know, I know. It's not so bad. I just want to get on with it already.
