ENT Visit...

Finally today, we got some answers about Zachary's recurrent ear infections, speech delay, snoring, behavior issues, hearing and disrupted sleep patterns. We saw Dr Cooter with Greenville ENT - and loved him. Even after another 10-day course of antibiotics, Zachary still had fluid in his ears and his tonsils were enlarged. Dr Cooter recommends placing tubes in his ears for the speech & hearing and recurrent fluid build-up & infections. Since Zachary will be in the Operating Room under anesthesia for this, he also recommends removing his tonsils and adenoids as well since he has had recurrent ear infections, strep and his snoring disrupts his sleep patterns. So, Zachary will have out patient surgery Monday October 12 at St Francis Women's Hospital. He will have a Pre-Op hearing test on Wednesday October 7. I hope this solves all of Zachary's issues!
