2 good visits

Both of the boys had good reports at their doctor appointments today, which is very rare.  I took them to see their ear-nose-throat guy.  It turns out that Shaun does not have a sinus blockage after all.   Great news!  He does, however, have a deviated septum.  I had the same nose problem when I was a kid.  Eventually he'll have to have surgery, but not until he's older.  He also has some pretty nasty stuff in his nose.  The doc thinks we can fix it with saline, so that shouldn't be too bad.  No new meds, no surgeries- we were happy!

Nothing new for Jordan, either.  His ears looked great.  The only thing is that Dr S. wants to be in the room when Jordan goes for his throat biopsy so that he can take a look at his voice box while Jordan is under general anesthesia.  That's only IF the GI specialist we're seeing decides to do a biopsy.  Judging from the "lung" appointment last week, that's probably what will happen.  But at least they can kill two birds with one stone.  Jordan's reflux medicine isn't working.  Now it is thought that he has some "condition of the esophogus".  Basically, this condition can cause reflux and asthma but is caused by some food allergies....I think.  We have to see a GI specialist and go from there.  

Phew.  Its been a long day.  We just got back from Egleston.  My grandma went with us and even treated us to lunch.  It feels good to have someone take care of me sometimes!  After the kids' appointment we went to Whole Foods Market for organic suckers.  I love that store!  We also had to go to Target for toys since they kids did so well today.  I was especially proud of Shaun- he sat so still while Dr S was looking down his nose with his camera.  I know it hurt and was uncomfortable, and he handled it with flying colors.  

Tomorrow its back to school.  I think I only have one other appointment this week and its in Gainesville, so I can relax and maybe get some housework finished.  I've started to get in the Holiday Spirit.  I can't believe Thanksgiving is next week!
