Rhys' Ears Noses and Throats

Tracy took Rhys to the ENT after we were done with Owyn at Child Find (see below for details). He was reasonably cooperative, except for the hearing test. They did the same ear drum check as they did for Owyn and found that Rhys, too, has fluid behind his ear drums.

Rhys will be getting both tonsils and adenoids out, tubes in and they are even going to cauterize some of the blood vessels in his snout. Rhys will have to stay at the hospital overnight.

I sure hope this helps him. Of the top of my head this could help with his runny nose, gagging on food, ear aches, speech, snoring, possible sleep apnea and drooling.

We'll keep our fingers crossed. A week of two grumpy boys had better be worth it.
