Update from ENT appointment
Just wanted to give a quick update from Connor's ENT appointment. Dr. White of course said we definitely needed to get tubes which was of no surprise. However, he also decided after examining Connor and looking at his records that we should also remove his adenoids. Hopefully by doing so, Connor's sinuses will clear up and we won't have to keep him on Claritin and Flonase round the clock like we have been for the last year. He will have surgery next Wednesday at MUSC. Luckily, it will be out-patient and we should only be there for about half the day. I'm not looking forward to it but I will definitely be glad when it's over and hopefully we will have our sweet little boy back. Connor has been so miserable with his ears hurting, so we all have not been getting much sleep which for some people is normal with a 20 month old, but when you have a child like Connor who sleeps for a solid 12 hours or more every night...it's quite a shock to your system to be getting up and staying up at least half of every evening. Also, they did a hearing test and it showed that Connor has hearing loss in both ears from the infections. Please be in prayer that his hearing will be restored once they put the tubes in and the fluid drains out. The doctor said we will check his hearing again post-op and that will tell us whether or not it's permanent hearing loss. Our pictures from November are uploaded to Picasa so don't forget to check them out.
God bless!
