Prayer Request for Garrett

Hello everyone, well I want to request prayer for Garrett.  Today we had an appt for Garrett to get his hearing tested because he has had a hard time listening lately.  He also changes what we say....he says "what" a lot so we thought that maybe it was becoming a habit so we would start staying, "you heard what we said, what did I say?" He would repeat it but it wasn't what we said it just sounded like what we said (doll/ball). 
....Anyway we decided to get his hearing tested and we found that he has a signifant hearing deficiet.  A normal 3 year old should be hearing around 15 (whatever they measure it at) and he is around 40-50.....BUT when they test his nerve signal, he is numbers are running 0-5 which is OVER excellent, so that is telling us that the nerve is working just great.  There is something (probably some type of fluid) in this space (middle ear) that should be filled with air that is blocking the sound waves.  The doctor said try putting in a good pair of ear plugs and that is how Garrett is hearing (poor guy!!).  We were refered to a Ears, Nose, and Throat (ENT) doctor so we should be able to fix this.  Please just keep him in your prayers and the doctors find what is causing this.  I will keep you updated!!
