My little MacMiracle!

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you know that my little Mackenzie gave us quite a scare with his ear back in the beginning of the year. See this post and this post and this post and this post. He has had ear troubles since we moved to Texas in 2003. We finally had a Mastoidectomy in March and were told at that time that he would have to have one or possibly two more surgeries with the first one being in December. Well, yesterday we went for his hearing test and ENT appointment. The hearing test really surprised his doctor. Although Mackenzie's hearing was worse in his right ear (not surprising since they removed some ossicles), it was still in the "normal" range. Still, the doctor cautioned me that the cholesteatoma could return and he wanted to "open him up" again and make sure there was no re-growth. But then I reminded him that he never actually found a true cholesteatoma - just granulation tissue but he had classified it as a cholesteatoma for insurance purposes. So that was a different story. He said that even with reconstructive surgery, Mackenzie's hearing would only improve a decibel or two and instead of scheduling surgery, he scheduled a CT scan. As long as the scan is clear, I believe we are going to opt to not have surgery and that makes my little boy very happy!

Here's a silly layout I made about Mackenzie's big dreams! It's fun to imagine what this smart little guy will become.

That's all I have for today. Nick has a baseball game tonight at 8:00 so it will be a long night for him. I'll leave you with another Justin Timberlake song. Apparently the one I played yesterday was the wrong one. So sorry!! Here is Until The End Of Time.
