Been a while and a lot has been going on... I'll try and make this short...but can't guarantee. We were referred to a specialist to have Billy's adenoids taken out, because the doctor here in town would not do it due to Billy's blood condition. After talking to Mia at the Puget Sound Blood Bank and Will we decided on going to Children's Hospital...we meet with Dr Smith (ENT) and Dr Mathews (Blood Dr.).
Dr Smith had and x-ray of Billy's adenoids and determined that it's not the adenoids that's causing the problem. He has enough air way that she doesn't see that being the problem. The sinus cavities are so inflamed and not able to do there job. So...what we are doing is Nasonex along with Clariton each morning. We have been doing this for 3 weeks and we have discovered that he is not snoring at night and has slept so soundly that we have had a couple of accidents. I can work with that. His airway has improved to where he can plow his nose. The other day he told me that I wouldn't believer how much snot he got out. Will has noticed that the bags under his eyes are getting better. Just an over all better - between the removal of wheat and milk along with control over the seasonal allergies. We go back in 6 month (since the Nasonex is working) and meet with the Specialist. If it didn't work they would put him on the allergy shots (which are not cheap) and if that didn't work they would want to go in and clean his sinus cavities out. Not an option that I want to do.
He is noticing what makes him feel better and what makes him feel bad. All I have to say is a real trooper. Kayla on the other had is feeling at times all the attention that Billy is getting and she talks to us in a good voice and keeps us informed when she feels that Billy is getting to much attention. Both Will and I are trying to keep her in mind and do/spend the extra time with her or on her requests (if they are in reason). That balance thing...
