Patrick's check up with the ENT

Monday was our follow up visit with the ENT. We went back to him after ten days of Cedfinir in hopes that the lymph node had gone down. Not only did he say that the lymph node did not go down, but he said that both ears were full of puss and fluid. He sent us down the hall to do a hearing test and the test confirmed that he can not hear low sounds. They think this might be related to his limited vocabulary.

As for the lymph node, he thought that it might get better after tubes and removing his adenoids. But, it might not. So…. We feel like we still do not have answers and we are going to see Dr. Rick’s Tuesday.

Tuesday I took Patrick to see Dr. Rick's. After a long conversation I was able to get some answers. The cat scan showed that Patrick needs to have tubes and his adenoids removed. While he is having it done he can have the lymph node biopsied. We will decide tomorrow which Dr. to use and make the appointment.

Wednesday, March 3rd, I called the ENT to make the appointment to do all three at the same time. The lady I spoke to made it very easy for me to decide against using Barham. It had just been one thing after another with him and his staff. so..... I called Dr. Danna today and made an office visit for Monday, March 3rd. Dr. Danna will examine him and decide if he wants to do the tubes, adenoids and biopsy.
