ENT

We had our ENT appointment yesterday and all went well. We aren't much further ahead, but small steps are greater than no steps.

Dr. Nabity put a scope down he's throat to see if there was something that was not letting his vocal cords or larynx or pharnynx work proper while he was eating. Fortunately that was working just fine. He stated that his sinuses are very congested and he swabbed him to see if there was something in there that was resistant to the antibiotics that he's already been on. He also said that when he scoped it that the esophagus wasn't red or irritated. He said that he would have expected that with reflux.

He did say however, that he has lots of fluid in his ears and stated that he would suggest putting tubes in his ears. I was in accordance with that and told him that if he didn't suggest it, I was going to beg for it since all the trouble we have had with Matt.

He questioned allergies and I stated that the other boys have them so i wouldn't be surprised. So we will get in to see Dr. Murphy as soon as we can possibly.

The positive was that since we are doing the MRI on Nov. 18 and they have to put him to sleep, Dr. Nabity stated that he was going to talk to Dr. Denman, the ENT that put Matt's tubes in, to see if he could put his tubes in on Nov. 18 while he's already asleep. I will know next week if this will happen or not.

So thatis where we sit as of now. We continue therapy and I feel things are improving. He likes to stand next to the couch and can stand there for a couple of minutes. He has to stand no matter what now. He knows he can so he has to do it.

Our next stop is GI! Not Grand Island, but gastrointestinal. :)
