Sleeping through?

I feel like I'm going to jinx us by saying this, but it appears Lucas and Sam are finally getting the messgae about sleeping through. They have both slept through 4 out of the last 5 nights - and on the other night only one of them woke up (I can't remember which). Admittedly they're waking up at anywhere between 5:30am and 6:30am, but it is better than 2am or 3am or 4am. Even Mitch who has been waking up either because of nightmares or coughing has been sleeping better too.

Mitch's hearing issues are not getting any better so Meeks is taking him to the doctor on Friday to get it checked out. At the moment you can stand behind him and say his name in a quiet voice and he does not hear you at all. He has no chance if you whisper his name. If he looks at you when you speak he hears you which is a combination of hearing you and looking at your lips as well. If he's not looking at you, you have to talk quite loudly for him to hear you. He also has trouble hearing the TV at normal volume. It is all a bit of a worry. He has tiny ear canals like me and has complained that when he speaks it's like he's yawning which I guess means that kind of muddy tone you get when your ears are blocked. The doctor looked at his ears a few weeks ago and they didn't have any obvious blockage or infection or anything so it's not that. Hopefully it will be something that fixes itself up and soon, it is frustrating having to tell him things over and over, especially in the car, but mostly we just hope he is okay.
