ENT

Gabers, how was your ENT appointment today?

You should know you had an ENT appointment too.

I got to have a hearing test!

How did you do Sis?

I got bored but my hearing is good.

You bored, go figure.

Hey!

I have a MRI coming up.

OOO, what's that for?

My nose.

Think they will see a brain while they are looking?

SIS!

What, it is an honest question!

They are looking at what they need to see in order to do my surgery.
 
Ew, that's no fun!

Mom's notes -
Both kids have their left ear tube in the process of working itself out.  ENT will see Isabella back in 6 months.  Gabriel, Gabriel no longer has his right tube in.  They need Gabriel's infection gone in order to get an accurate test on his hearing.  They are greatly concerned with the amount of antibiotics Gabriel has been on.  He is only off antibiotic for a week on average before having to go back on.  I am glad to hear that someone else shares my concern with this.  Gabriel is on a different regiment of medication to try to 'dry him out' for a MRI that will be taking place in a couple weeks.  After the MRI we will discuss plan.  As of right now the plan is to replace tubes, sinus cleanse, biopsy and 'open' the sinus's.  What opening the sinus's includes will be decided after the MRI.  The goal with opening the sinus's is to create a opening that allows the sinus's to drain better instead of getting backed up causing infection which is what appears to be happening now. So much for no surgeries in 2012.  I just hope this one really makes a difference!  I would love for Gabriel to have a break from being sick with these stupid sinus infections!
