Day 22 - Little sprinter boy...

Kind of like the Little Drummer Boy, only different. I don't know what got into Jack, but he was SPRINTING everywhere today. He is just a happy little guy. This morning, we took the cup off his ear and let him just leave it off. He was in my bathroom and was looking at his ear in the mirror. He kind of tilted his head and said, "That's my new ear." Then, he smiled...

So, I said I would post a picture of the sore spot from the cup. This picture is from two days ago, but it still looks the same.














Today, we went to church and had Jack wear the cup with the velcro strap and no adhesive to see how it stayed on. It was okay for church, but it does not stay in place well enough like that for all day use. We don't want to put the sticky tape in his hair, so we went back to the cup with the netting tonight and will try to keep it like that for the rest of the week. We actually left the cup off his ear for most of the day today. He did fine. But this week, he is going to start going back to preschool in the mornings and we would rather be safe than sorry. Since Dr. Roberson modified the cup, it is not bothering his head so much, so I think it will be fine.

Here are some pics of his ear before we put the netting and cup back on:





We will see Dr. Roberson on Wednesday this week and he will take out most of the packing. I think we will see a big difference in Jack's hearing this week!

More soon...
