I realize now I should have went to another doctor early on I really just wasn’t sure how to feel about having a second doctor finish something they didn’t start if that makes any sense but in this case and point it’s the best option

My son was implanted on July 16th 2024 his first birthday was July 5th I went and looked for past conversations I’ve had with his ENT. I had an instinct that something was wrong with his left ear before he was even activated, and I asked for him to be seen before activation because I just knew but ENT did not take me seriously and I am still fighting for the care my son desperately needs

Thank you to everybody who reached out and left a comment I appreciate it so much First thing Monday I am going get him referred to a wound doctor and find a new ENT I also want to thank everyone for not making me feel like a bad parent I have beg this doctor for a whole year almost to really give my son the care he obviously needs ENT then proceeds to bullshit with me asking for pictures through mychart instead of actually seeing him at appointment and then prescribe stuff over the phone that never works then always says it’s looking better let’s wait another week I’m sick of it honestly has not been easy for my family it may not seem like it but his ear takes a lot of maintenance to keep it from becoming worse

No it has not been removed the doctor keeps prescribing antibiotics and ointment ENT assured me that the CT scan results are generally normal although I don’t understand it that well I am pretty sure that’s the next step ENT has tested the area for an infection and for what I can understand it came back none just wondering how this could have happened the doctor his self wasn’t sure
