Spring brings clear skys and sinuses!

The recent CT scan showed that Garrett's adenoids are apparently "huge", and not only will this block his already small airway, it may be contributing to his chronic sinusitis, because the obstruction disrupts the process that removes bacteria normally present in the nasal passages, and the bacteria begin to multiply and invade the lining of the sinus... the area can't drain properly. So after a winter of thick-green-discharge-clogged sinuses and sleepless nights, it wasn't hard to see the benefits of a tonsil/adenoid-ectomy. We have an appointment for March the 24th. It will only take about 20 minutes but we will be staying over night so they can monitor his post-op breathing. Just an extra precaution that I appreciate.

Until then, we're all just enjoying spring break.
