(Note: This is from Laura while our expedition was at the Little Bug. If anyone knows an ENT who might be interested in going down to help Little Delia, please let us know!)
While doing the medical exams yesterday, Dr. Doug came across Delia who has a tumor in her ear. Delia was a very patient patient! First Dr. Doug put a wash in the ear to see if it could just be removed simply. In the end, however it seems she needs to be seen by a specialist to have it removed to make sure there is no long term negative effects on her hearing.
People on the expedition are going to work to raise the funds once they return to the states. It would be awesome if somehow an ENT decided to go on the August expedition... that would solve multiple problems!
