Grommets & Dentists

We had been wondering for a while if Reuben was having trouble hearing (perhaps he wasn't just ignoring us). So we took him to an audiologist and he did a hearing test and yes, he had a fluid build-up in both ears and needed grommets..

..which meant a trip to hospital and a general anaesthetic. I was concerned he may not be able to swim, as one of the few fun outings we have in Papua is to the pool or beach, so was relieved to hear that he could, with earplugs and a groovy headband.


We also went to see our old friend the dentist.
