The Latest on Mason

We went to VCU last week with Mason. He was super with the Pediatric ENT. She was very nice and had a great manner with him. She put her fiber optic camera "spaghetti camera" up his nose and took a look around. Her decision based on what she saw then and on his soft tissue xrays from 2005 and 2008 that we had in hand was as follows: we can't leave him the way he is. We must do either CPAP nightly or remove the adenoids again. The CPAP helped to reduce the symptoms of apnea greatly. Our worry is that we'd be setting him up to be dependent on this machine for an undetermined amount of time. She said that she's never seen a child need to have the adenoids removed more than twice. So, we're going on faith that they won't grow back again... His surgery is set for Friday May 9. We'll find out the day before what time it will happen that morning (for those of you who like to pray at that very moment...) More info when we get it!
