On 8/3 he is going in for surgery to have the hole in his ear drum closed up &

his ear tube kind of " reconstructed " so the ear can drain properly.....or not

drain continually preferably!!!! They're also checking to see if the adnoid has

regrown at all, sleep apnea is BAD!

Take care,

Well, it could have been better. Once they got in there they discovered the ear

canal was all infected & they weren't able to reconstruct it like they had

hoped. But, they were able to clean it out real well, plug the hole in the ear

drum & do the broncoscopy (sp?). So, now we know that his obstructive sleep

apnea is from having flaps that fall over his voice-box that are way bigger &

floppier than normal. He coudln't keep anything down after surgery, so they

made us stay overnight Dylan really stresses about that stuff & I'm sure

the vomiting was more due to stress than anything anestesia related. So, the

ENT would like to go in again & reconstruct the ear canal & trim those flaps

covering the voice box sometime before next year. So, we go in tomorrow for a

re-check & we'll see about that. I'm not real thrilled about scheduling another

surgery, but if it will fix the sleep apnea it might be worth it.
