The ear/tube saga continues. . .
Last week I reported that Captain Evil’s tubes had fallen out. The doctor who gave me the prescription for his antibiotics on Friday afternoon mentioned that there was a 20 percent chance that it would not work and that we may end up back there on Monday for a new prescription.
