Finally a Doctor With Some Good News!

It was inevitable that with as many doctors appointments that we go to
we'd finally get a positive prognosis.
Before you get all excited-- he still has Cancer.
We didn't see an Oncologist today, we saw his E.N.T. (Ear, Nose and Throat doc).
And let me tell you, it was a beautiful thing.
We called from the parking lot and instead of waiting in their always
crowded with kiddos waiting room-- we went straight into the examining room.
The last time we went, I wrote about how this was one of the few perks of Cancer.
But hey, we are not proud-- we'll gladly take it.
Anyway, here's the scoop.  He lost the tube in his right ear some time ago
and we've been waiting until he was healthy enough to do surgery number four
 for ear tubes-- ug..
However, today we learned both of his inner ears are clear of liquid.
If, at his next check up in three months, they are still clear-- guess what--
we get to dodge the surgery bullet!!!!!
He did have a little problem in his left ear with some gunk growing around the tube
but it should be cleared up in two weeks with an antibiotic ear drop.
I know Kean doesn't look that excited in this picture with the good news.
He did not appreciate being held down and poked and prodded.
 At our next stop, our favorite pharmacy, Customedica to pick up this week's worth of drugs, look
at what we found-- Kean on the front page of one of the local papers.
Remember how he got drafted at the last minute to serve as the "poster boy"
for our friends who are offering free horse therapy lessons to
kids with special needs?  Who would've known he'd be so famous.
