I'm so Proud! Dr said she had never before extracted so many random objects from a child's ear ...

She was extremely nice about it and ds says he can hear much better now! He had a collection of 4 different things in his ears. Anyone want to have a guess at what they were?

Or do you commit the cardinal sin of cleaning his ears with cotton buds and he has four broken buds down his lughole?!

He could have chosen a more convenient time of year to experiment with his aural capacity, mind. One GP visit and two hospital appointments later. I was out from 9.30am to 3.00pm today just getting this sorted [grumpy emoticon].

Sorry sorry, had a phone call.

So

first out was a pumpkin seed.

behind that was a small yellow bead (larger than hama).

in the other ear we had a small ball of blu-tac

and some cotton wool (which he says accidentally got in there when he was making his cotton wool snowman at school last week ).

My boy!

Hassled · 21/12/2009 18:46

That is one impressive aural capacity - the boy will go far.

Tizzyjacko · 21/12/2009 18:46
