Dr. Danna was Wonderful!

Today we took Patrick to see the ENT Doctor. He decided to have the needle biopsy first. When we get the results he will decide if Patrick needs to have his adenoids removed. Patrick is taking antibiotics and we are waiting for the call to let us know when the biopsy will take place.

Tuesday, He called Joel back and stated that after reviewing his chart, he would never have ordered the cat scan or suggested a biopsy. He believes that the swollen lymph node will go away after removing the adenoids. We are on a week of Cefprozil and then it is back to the ENT to make the final decision regarding adenoids. The appointment will be at 4:00 on March 19th.

It is now Friday and Patrick has steadily kept a fever of around 101 - 102 since Thursday. Nana kept Patrick and took him to Dr. Stanley. We have been switched to another medicine. Patrick has a yeast infection in his diaper and a runny nose with the fever. The ENT's nurse said it was o.k. to switch to the new medicine. I will be taking the Early Childhood praxis in the morning so Joel will be left to take care of the kids.

At 3:45 a.m. Patrick woke up with 104 fever. I was able to get him back to bed once it came down to 101. Patrick slept a couple hours and then the fever broke. It is now Sunday afternoon and Patrick is still fever free. His lymph node has swollen a good bit so we will be sure to show it to the ENT at his next appointment on Thursday.
