Follow Up Appointment

Well we met with the ENT today. We didn't learn too much knew. We have our next follow up appointment for Feb. 24. That is 4 weeks from today to see if the infection is gone. Our ENT prefers to do an exam at this point after he is off the antibiotic for 1 week rather than doing a sinus scan first. A sinus scan at this age requires anesthetic. He did put him on reflux medicine again (previcid this time). Elliot was on this as a baby the first 3-4 months and he's thinking he could still be having trouble with it...not so much that he is uncomfortable anymore with it but that it is causing irritation in the throat thus the mucus glands kick in to create more mucus as a protect ant...so we're going to try this and see if it cuts down some of the mucus he seems to have so much of. We are going to continue to keep him off milk at this time and switch to soy milk instead of vit. d as he approaches 1 year old. This will be one less factor to consider in the mix. So we're just waiting now to see if his infection will clear. We really appreciate so many of you praying and following all the updates with Elliot. We'll continue to keep you updated!
