ENT

So we have returned from the ENT. He really recommends we have Elliots adenoids removed. He believes there is infection in his body and that the adenoids are the cause. We had had him on antibiotics for 21 days straight(this last time) and then within 4 days off from them he was green with infection again. At Elliots age they say allergy testing is so inconclusive that they would recommend the surgery before that. It's so hard to tell with how they can test kids at this age what he would be allergic to...so allergies may play into his problem but at this time they feel the best soution is to remvoe his adenoids and get source of some of the infection out. Someday down the road we'll do the allergy testing when he is older adn they feel the test will be more conclusive. So that is where we are at. His surgery will be January 12. We'll get the time the friday before.

I was just about to call you and see if you were home yet. I'm glad you have answers and a proactive next-step. However, I am sorry that little Elliot will need to have surgery AND that it has to happen after the new year (due to your deductible). Thanks for keeping us updated. I was praying for you throughout the afternoon.
