Dr. Brekowitz wrote out a prescription of antibiotics for Lila and told Egon that she was going to get in touch with her sister in-law to set an appointment up with Lila.
Egon thanked the doctor, as did Lila, who got a sticker for being such a good patient.
Once they left the doctor, Egon headed to the supermarket pharmacy to fill and pick up the prescription, along with some apple juice for Lila to take the medicine with and ice cream, as the antibiotic was to be taken with something that had active culture.
Egon of course let Lila picked the flavor, which was vanilla and chocolate combined.
After paying for the items and prescription, the two headed home.

Egon and Lila were greeted by Jeanie when they arrived home.
"Hi sweetie.
I'm sorry you're sick," said Jeanie, as she gave Lila a hug.
"It's OK mama.
I'm sorry I'm sick again though," said Lila.
"Don't worry about it Lila, what's important is that you get better," said Egon
"And Dr. Brekowitz gave me a sticker, " said Lila, showing Jeanie her rainbow sticker on her shirt.
"Very nice," said Jeanie.
"I'm going to get started on my school work.
OK then Lila.
But be sure to rest up to."
"Did you say something mama?"
"I said be sure to rest up to."
"I will."
Lila then headed upstairs to her room.
Meanwhile, Egon talked to Jeanie about the appointment.
"She has another ear infection," he said.
"I thought so.
And she just got over one," said Jeanie.
"It's Lila's third one in two months.
By the way, Dr. Brekowitz is going to call soon about a specialist for Lila."
"What kind of specialist?" asked Jeanie, who was now as concerned as Egon.
"Ears, nose and throat."
Just then, the phone rang.
"That maybe her now," spoke Egon.
He approached the desk and answered the phone.
"Hello, yes speaking.
Hi Samantha
You did?
When?"
Egon grabbed a piece of paper, along with a pen and began to write something down.
Of course, I was just talking to Jeanie about this.
Yes, we will be there.
Thank you again for your help.
Lila actually just went up to her room to rest up and I just got her medicine.
We will.
Thank you again.
Good-bye."
"Was that Samantha Brekowitz?" asked Jeanie.
Egon hung up the phone and answered, "Yes, Lila has an appointment with the specialist next Friday morning at 10 am."
"I think it's best that we tell her now."
"That's a good idea.
Let her understand what's going."
The two went up to see their daughter, as it was also time for Lila to take her medication.

Lila was in her room, working on her spelling when there was a knock at the door.
Of course with her ear issues, she couldn't her it.
"Lila," said Jeanie, when she opened the door.
The child jumped a bit, turned to her parents who had entered her room and said, "I'm sorry mama, daddy.
But I couldn't hear the door.
Is it time for me to take some medicine?"
"It is, but we also want to explain to you what's going on," said Egon.
As Lila took her medication, and the cup of water that Jeanie given her, Egon began to speak.
"Now Lila, you know how you've been having these ear infections," he said.
"Yes, I've had three of them," Lila nodded.
"Well, Daddy and I are taking you to see a specialist next Friday to look at your ears, so we can see what's causing your problems.
Do you understand?" asked Jeanie.
"I do.
I wish I can hear better."
"That's exactly what the doctor is going to check for."
"The question is Lila, how do you feel about this?" asked Egon.
"If this is going to help me get better, I'm OK with it," Lila replied.
Jeanie gave her a hug and said, "That's our girl."
"We're proud of the way you're handling this Lila," said Egon, as he gave a hug to his child as well.

By the next week, just in time for her appointment that Friday, Lila's ear infection had cleared up, but she still had some difficulty with hearing, which was really concerning Egon and Jeanie.
The three arrived at the specialist office, and were taken to see the doctor, within minutes of arriving.
A nurse ushered Egon, Jeanie and Lila into an examining room, and waited for the doctor.
A few seconds later, a woman, who was about the same age as Dr. Brekowitz entered the room.
"Dr. and Mrs. Spengler.
I'm Dr. Sherry Blumenthal, Samantha told me about you case," said the doctor, as she extend her hand to Egon and Jeanie.
"Thank you for taking us in at a short notice," said Jeanie.
"We really appreciate it doctor," Egon replied.
"It's no trouble at all, said Dr. Blumenthal as she turned to Lila and said, "And you must be Lila."
"It's really Delilah, but everyone just calls me Lila, and it's very nice to meet you Dr. Blumenthal," said Lila, shaking the doctors hand.
"What a charming little girl you are.
Now how old are you Lila?"
"Five and a quarter years old."
"And you're in Kindergarten?"
"Actually, I'm in the third grade."
And very bright to.
Ok now Lila, I want you to take a seat right here," said Dr. Blumenthal, leading the child to a large chair.
After the doctor placed a booster seat down, Egon lifted Lila into the chair, and soon began testing.

Dr. Blumenthal first check Lila's ears with a regular light, like the one Dr. Brekowitz used, then used another type of light, followed by a hearing test.
Once everything was completed, Dr. Blumenthal looked over the notes she wrote down during the tests and asked the Spengler family to come into her office to go over everything.
"OK now, I have some good news.
I didn't see any issues to be concern about and I was able to find out why Lila has been having a lot of issues with her ears.
And the reason is because ear canals are rather small in size, which is why she also has a lot of wax build up, hence the hearing issues and the infections," said the doctor.
"Is there a solution to the problem?" asked Egon.
"Yes, we're going to have to expand her ear canals."
"An operation?" asked Jeanie, who like her husband, was now nervous hearing what the doctor had told them.
"It's hardly considered surgery actually.
We just place some thin tubes into the ears, and it only take about 2 hours two and a half at most.
Plus, since it's out patient, there's no hospital stay required, said Dr. Blumenthal, trying to put the Spenglers at ease and added, It's actually quite common in children, especially Lila's age.
Jeanie, who was feeling slightly more relaxed said, "Well, I'm glad that it's nothing serious.
And if that's all we have to do then maybe that will help Lila a lot.
Egon, however, was still feeling on edge said, "Uh doctor.
Lila is just little girl, do you think maybe we can wait do this when she's older?"
"Dr. Spengler, I understand how you feel.
I have two daughters myself.
But I'm afraid we can't wait to have this done.
If you wait any longer, Lila will have more issues has she grows up, and there is also the possibility of hearing loss before she's a teenager.
"No, I..I don't want that.
But what's most important is what Lila wants."
All eyes were turned to Lila, who then said, "If this is going to help me feel better, I'll do it."
Egon and Jeanie, were proud of Lila's mature answer, as was the doctor, who then booked to have the "surgery" done two weeks from Thursday.
