ENT appointment update....

Today we had William's ENT appointment. We were looking forward to it to see what they thought his issues were. As we were standing in line to check in, he looked at me, and said "mommy, I'm scared." Apparently the thought of what could be going on or could be done to him was scary. After we checked in we had barely made it up the steps when the nurse called his name. We went back into a large room (too bad the dr's offices aren't that big) with a chair for him to sit in. Lots of things on the walls. After a few questions we were met by a very nice dr. She was very understanding and asked several questions. We went over a lot of things and she checked out his ears, throat, and nose. She numbed his nose a bit and then stuck a lighted scope up a ways to see his adenoids. She told us that they are enlarged. They aren't huge, but they are definitely a problem and need to go. She went over all of the risks, etc. She also went over what days she has free to do surgery until early March. She will be going on maternity leave and wanted us to be aware that if she goes into labor they will reschedule. He is set for Friday the 26th. Hopefully all goes well and he will heal up in no time.
