Floppy Ear


So, Nathan was born with both ears flopped over. The left side came up after a week, but his right side is still flopped over. Doctors told us he's missing some cartilage, so hopefully it'll go up on its own. Other option is to do reconstructive surgery if it's important to us, but we won't go there. I talked to a mother at church who told me her son's ears were the exact same way. Everybody told her to massage it and to keep rubbing it so that it'll come up, but those Korean myths don't work (you have no idea how many Koreans have told us to do this). One day, her son's ears came up on its own when he came home from college! I hope we don't have to wait that long, but there's hope. The wise advice we got from her was to not make a big deal out of it so that he doesn't think there's something wrong with him. Somebody once told us he looks cute because it gives him character.....guess that's one way of looking at it.
