Tuff's ENT appointment

Tuff had his appointment with the ENT Dr (Ear, Nose, Throat) yesterday afternoon. He did wonderful. I think he's just gotten so used to going to the DR. Every DR he see's always comments on how good he is. When we first got there I had to fill out a TON of paperwork. I think it literally took me 20 minutes to fill out. Geeeez. They have to know 10 sheets of paper of your life history these days to go to the DR. After I finally finished my "homework" we were called back. The DR we saw was amazing. He explained everything perfectly and answered all my questions and on top of all that, he was wonderful with Tuff. When he started to look in his ears he said "Let me see if you have any dogs in this ear, now let me see if you have any kitty cats in the other one!" After he left the room to get us some information Tuff was playing on the chair and he turned to me and said "Mama! I have kitty cats in here (pointing to one ear) and I have doggies in here (pointing to the other)." Such a smart boy we have on our hands. Anyways, we didn't get any type of diagnosis for all kinds of reasons. One, he's on this 3 week antibiotic and he doesn't want to do anything until he's off and hopefully (not for our sake) sick again. He said once he gets the infection again, he can test his mucus for further results. He also said the his adnoids could be the cause of the problem. If they are staying swollen all the time, that could be the cause of his constant sinus infections. If that is the case, they could have to do surgery to remove them. He said they like to rule out everyTHING first since he's so little. They hate to have to do that kind of surgery on such a young child. He also said it could be an allergy. (Which is what I think...) So he referred us to an allergist and said he'd like us to see them before coming back to see him. He gave us some info on an allergist in the same building who we go see on March the 26th. Hopefully we can get some more answers there. Especially if it is an allergy. When I called to set up his appointment the lady on the phone told me that we would leave their office knowing what he's allergic to if he does have an allergy. Thank goodness. So for now we'll continue to finish up our antibiotic and try to get as well as we can for his allergy appointment. I will keep you all posted. Here is our big boy in the big chair waiting on the DR.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
