A 30% loss

And no the title is no in reference to people's stock portfolios. Jackson woke up this morning unable to hear out of his left ear. He heard some buzzing and some muffled sounds like he was underwater, but it just was not normal. He told me about it and thought that he had gotten Drano in his ear from unplugging our drains last night. I was fairly certain that was not the case, but we decided to have it checked out anyway. He made a doctor's appointment for 2:15. He had a ton of tests run and they found that he had lost 30% of his hearing. They are certain that is was not Drano but was the flu. He has some kind of nerve damage from having the flu that has caused a permanent loss. Thankfully he sought medical help in time to save any additional damage. God is good.

Things have been pretty hectic around here. I only have 1 more class left before the final. YAY! That means I need to study all weekend. BOO! You win some, you lose some. :) I'm looking forward to 2- count 'em- 2 whole weeks off of school. Yay!!

Jackson is feeling better- finally. He's worried sick about this hearing loss thing, though. Poor kid.

Not too much else going on here. Sorry for the boring post. Oh, funny story. There is a girl at work who is in the beginning stages of dating an ER doctor. She had her second official date with him tonight. Everyone had advice for her. The best? Her mother calling and telling her not to answer the phone during dinner as that's rude (so true- see previous cell phone post) and not to tell him that she just found out that she has 8 cavities because she doesn't want the doctor to think she doesn't care for her teeth. I almost died. Too funny. One has got to love moms. :)
