back to the doctor

Okay...so we're back from the doctor again. The last few days Elliot has been falling a lot again..usually this means his sinus infection is back (meaning we're resistant to yet another antibiotic) or his ear is infected. Well...his ears look great but there is green in his sinus'. With him falling all the time these last few days he keeps getting hurt. He now has a bump above his eye and then he punctured his tongue with his tooth...so that bleed everywhere...so we of course got that checked while we were there too! Luckily its only halfway through his tongue and 1/4" wide..so it should heal all on its own with out stitches! That was good news...but it still really bothers him. So after that was checked the doctor went through the list of antibiotics we've tried already to see what we can put him on now. As he listed them all off we realized we've been through all of them he'd recommend since September and really none have worked. So they gave Elliot the shot kind..forgive me I forgot the name amidst all the screaming...we'll go back on Saturday to get the second dose.....

What does all this mean....not sure....but we're suppose to watch his balance over the weekend. If his balance improves then it was probably off because of his sinus infection (this is what i'm leaning towards)...if it doesn't improve by monday we'll go in for a CAT scan..to see if the balance is off for another reason. If his balance has improved we'll assume it was all sinus related and then we'll get to set up an appointment with the infectious disease people....they will then start testing Elliot to see what might be the cause of all this mucus...that keeps getting infected. So that is where we are for the moment....hopefully this all makes sense..not sure it does to me completely but I'm trusting God with it all...because so much of this is beyond my control. We'll just patiently wait to see what steps to take next.
