The ENT

June 1st, Parker had another follow-up with the ENT for his 1st ER visit and to checkon his tubes and airway. I didn't know that 4 weeks later we would be back there with Payton.

Miss Payton has spent the past 7 months with persistent fluid in her ears. Every time we end up with the pediatrician she's on the verge of another infection if it's not already there. After her follow-up from her ER trip, the ped agreed it was time for her to go. With a little sweet talking I was able to get her in in 10 days. I got a little squeeze from the doctor when he came in (we're buddies now). They did a hearing test which she passed, but there is still fluid in both and a brewing infection in the left. He agreed, it's her turn for tubes. He will also look and see how her adnoids look and whether they need to come out as well. He's going to also review her chart and see what he thinks about doing a scope while she's under. They found cysts on Parker's airway when they did it to him from being on the vent for a long time and he may double check she doesn't have the same thing.

Scheduling called within a couple hours and we're on for July 25th at Boys Town. If I can just keep her well until then. :)
