Poor little ears

I know it is gross, but this picture is actually pretty tame. Just a reminder of what Christian frequently has to deal with, even after 3 myringotomy's and an adenoidectomy to try to solve the problem. So many ear infections that drain out of the tubes. This is actually the side that the tube has fallen out of. This eardrum burst just the day before school started back. Poor kiddo. He handles it all pretty well though!
