Cathy/Gareth's sinus surgery

[Guest guest]

<<For years Darwyn would get upset when other kids cried>>

Hi, Everyone........for years, Gareth was the same with babies.

What's even funnier (looking back now) is that for years he would tell his

brother, , to *shut up* at the dinner table or when ever was talking to

us. All that changed when 's voice became a deeper, manly

voice.....another *aha moment* in our lives!!! Gareth just could not tolerate

's

voice. We found the same behavioral issues when he went into 6th Grade

and the students starting changing classes. He couldn't tolerate the

squealing/screeching of the tweens in the halls. That is when he had to go

from

regular ed rooms to Autistic support classrooms.

Gareth had his sinus surgery last Friday and was MISERABLE F, S, S, and

Monday. By Tuesday, he had a smile on his face again and today we found out

that he will have to go for a second surgical cleaning next Friday, 13th,

because he wouldn't let the ENT clean his nose today and do a recheck. The

surgery was suppose to take 30 - 45 minutes and, after 1 1/1 hrs, I was

PACING the floor!!! ENT said it took so long because he was sooooooooo

congested with thick mucous, had nasal polyps, and encrusted bacterial colonies

in his sinuses. Bummer..............

Take care, Everyone.
