Michael's Ear

We started off this morning with Michael's 11 year old check up. He was scheduled on his immunization card for a booster shot... so he was all prepped for it. Then he found out our Dr. prefers to give it at 12! So he LUCKED out for a whole year! But then the Dr. checked his ears and spent a little extra time checking his right ear. EVERY time I have taken Michael to the Dr. for ANYTHING... it turns out he has a "flaming ear infection", although his ear has never bothered him. But today the Dr. could still see his ear drum behind the redness. There was something in front of his ear drum! So he made us an appointment this afternoon with the ear specialist and we went. After spending FOREVER waiting for the Dr. to come in, he checked it out and took some of the wax off of it... and then 'rolled' it out! It was a red bead!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHHA! It was so releavingly hilarious! Michael says he thinks he remembers probably sticking it in his ear in 2nd grade. So it's been in there for 4 years and we've been treating it for infection every time we've been to the Dr. for those 4 years. Who goes back to the Dr. 10 days later to see if it's gotten better? Michael also thinks he can hear better now! I SHOULD SAY SO!
