I took Traven to the ENT doctor today to see if he needs tubes. He's had the same ear infeciton since March 27th and has been on 4 antiobiotics since then, none of which have been successful. Traven was a fighter and wouldn't let the doctor look in his ears. We had to go to "the room" so they could lay him down in the special chair. Then the nurse and I had to hold Traven down while the doctor looked in his ears. Ends up that he doesn't have an infection right now, just a lot of fluid in both ears. So the doctor wants to see Traven in a month to see if his ears have been able to clear up on their own. If the fluid is still there, or if there's infection, then he'll get tubes. 
Travens favorite part...they gave him a sucker!!!

Poor kid!! I hope that he is ok and that all goes well! I had tubes when i was a kid and they did nothing but help! so if he ends up getting tubes just know that they will help!
