So glad that he is doing well in school. Do they know when they are going to put the tubes in?
how long after they put the tubes in should they start seeing an improvement in his hearing???
My grandson didn't have hearing loss that we were aware of so not sure how that works with those who do. He had recurring ear infections....and got the tubes like 3 days before Christmas!!!

that's what my neice had....no hearing loss but recurring infections

My grandson had tubes and I don't recall that he wore ear plugs...but could well have. They eventually came out and he's had no problems since then (got them when he was maybe about 3).

Hope that Kaleb's hearing will improve with the tubes, CEK. Glad that your furbabies are doing ok too.
Thank you so much Jet...it has been a long week...I feel like Dr Doolittle....LOL

LOL....good analogy, CEK!!!

I love cats...we have three now here, I love dogs too We always had cats when I was little.
my dog loves cats....lol.....when our older cat passed a few years ago he started chewing everything and did not like when we left even for an hour or so....the vet recommended we adopt another cat so we did and problem solved....lol....he's just a dog that needs a cat in his life...LOL
Marmaduke loves to CHASE cats!!! He sniffs them out of the bushes across the street. Once the chase is over, he's finished with them!!! Doesn't bother much with dogs either, other than to sniff them, then go off and hike his leg on our tree!!! LOL

LOL

Hi Luv, I am doing well. How about you?

how are your dinners going Kos????? anything special planned for Easter????
The dinners are going well and are attracting a lot of attention. I promise to write a post about all that has happened. In the meantime those of you who do Facebook. We have an FB page, Beloved Community of DeKalb County, Illinois. Activists from Chicago showed up on Sunday night. The price of these going well is that all sorts of folks now want to partner. Sometimes that means take over. My younger son, the singer wants to do a video essay about BMI (Black Male Initiative), their realtionship with both police departments (university and city) and the fact that when the dinners are not near campus, the NIU police chief and his officers provide rides for these young me. My son said, "This, I bet, is the only place in the nation that there is this kind of relationship between the police and young African American men."

He is probably right. You know, it would be nice if something like your community dinners hit the mainstream media, showing all of the "good" out there instead of all of the riots and such. That being said, I kind of hope that your dinners/groups kind of stay small and connected. When you get others involved, especially in a "take over" thing, you lose exactly what you were trying to accomplish in the first place. Does this make sense?

I thought once they put the tubes in, they stayed forever. Are there different kinds?
There are...the "plastic" type one come out over time...the "metal" type are permanent and are usually used in older children (teens) and adults...or for children that have had several sets of tubes and they still have problems. My daughter was going to have to get them after the 4th set she had if her problems had not gotten better.

Awww....that's it! My grandson's were plastic.

My daughter had a hole in her eardrum and had to have it patched. She doesn't have trouble with water in them now but flying on an airplane is tough for her. Chewing gum doesn't help her and the pain last a couple days after flying.
She had ear infections from the time she was 10 months old until about 6 years old.

Howdy, Sisters! Hope all of you had a memorable Good Friday.

Thought I would pop in while my rice is cooking!😋 Seems all I do is cook!! Tomorrow I'm doing a turkey---the day before Easter. Our Annual Adult and Children's Easter Egg Hunt is canceled this year because my SIL and her family are spending tomorrow and Sunday at Great Wolf Lodge about 2 miles south of Disneyland!!! LOL I'm always amused when people go to a local place for a vacation...but I guess it's a popuar thing to do these days! The rest of the family will miss the Easter Egg Hunt hiatus....but hope that next year we can have it again!!😃
Hey Jet *waving* so what's going with the rice??????.......LOL

Hey, April....What's going with the rice is something the pizza store owner gave us!!! It's chicken and garbonza beans and onions. We are going to put it on brown rice with garlic butter!! It looks alot like something I make with more of a Latin flair (pinto beans, tomatoes, chicken) that goes on brown rice.
