If You Dont Facebook.....

...then you missed the news about Evan. He has been having a lot of trouble over the years with eye pain in the morning and headaches. I took him to the eye doc once and they said his eyes looked fine. So we just kept enduring.... Lately though they seem to be worse. Also, he gets bloody noses very easily and is really hard to wake up in the mornings. His pediatrician suggested I test him for allergies first. Did that. No allergies. Then the allergist suggested I have him see and Ear Nose & Throat doc because his tonsils were pretty large and he thought perhaps getting his adnoids out might help his issues. I put it off for a while (almost a year) because the thought of him having an unnecessary surgery like that made me nervous. But, like I said, lately its just getting worse and he is so miserable. So, the ENT doctor says: He needs his tonsils out; He needs his adnoids out; and he has a deviated septum which needs repair. They cant do the septum surgery until he is 16....hopefully he wont need it by then. But, on June 23rd, he will be getting his tonsils and his adnoids taken out and they will also be cauterizing the inside of his nose to stop the nosebleeds. I'm not looking forward to seeing him go through this but I am encouraged by the doctor telling me that this should solve all of his problems and that he will sleep so much better that we might even be able to wake him up in the morning!! I cant even imagine it.....
