Here's hoping the doctors will cure the boy. When we lived in Kentucky, both our boys suffered from ear infections. When we transferred (IBM) to Tucson, that stopped immediately. The warm and very dry air are not favorable to ear infections. Although I liked living in the South, the far South West is a great place to plant roots and I'm glad we moved. Johnny and his wife are probably upset and very concerned but they have a lot of fans, including myself, rooting for their boy. He'll come thru with flying colors because he's tough, like his Dad.
