I see surgery in our future

We went back to see the doctor about Annabel's ears.

The CT scan was complete, a hearing test conducted, and no improvement or change since last time.

So after the doctor looked at her ears, all the reports, he told us what he did from the beginning:

She needs surgery to repair the holes in her ears.

Now the part that is frustrating -

After all of this he explains that he does not do surgery on children's ears and will need to refer us to someone else.

AAARRRGGHHHH!!

So we have spent the better part of a month and no telling how much money AND time to get to this point.

Now we will start again with another doctor who will want to do his own tests to determine that she needs surgery on her ears. She has significant "temporary" hearing loss in one ear due to the damage. Most docs want to wait for a child to reach 14 years old to do this surgery, but because of the amount of hearing loss and the size of the hole, especially in her left ear, he does recommend that we do follow through with the surgery.

DUH!!

I was actually hoping that we could get the surgery done this week, that's how serious I feel like it is.

To top it off, they did not give me the new doc's contact info, they will call/contact me with it. I don't have a lot of patience on waiting to get this corrected for her sake!
