Alexander

We took Alex to see his ENT Dr. Park yesterday. We went to have him look at his nose. The Dr. was looking at his nose and of course he was having a good day. He was not really sure that anything was wrong so he had to go and have an MRI he was such a trooper he laied on the table and did not move. The Dr. said that there was nothing wrong with him. He then decided that he was going to stick a camera up his nostrolls this was the 3rd time that he was going to have this done and it was the first time that he was going to have his nose numbed. The dr. showed us that his left side was the crooked side. You could clearly see that the left side was very narrow and the right side had more room. The Dr. explaned how he was going to be doing the surgery he even drew a picture of it. It made me like him even more because he takes the time to explane how he is going to do the surgery he does not just tell you and make you do the suregery. He tells you that you can think about it. We asked him if he would be able to be off all meds if he had the surgery the Dr. responed that ideally that is what we would like to have happen, but we will have to see. he told us that Alex will not be able to blow his nose after the surgery. I told him that he really can't blow his nose anyways I made the sound that he makes when blowing his nose the Dr. laughed. The other thing that I like about the Dr. is that he comes in and shakes your hands and says it is good to see you again. I also told the Dr. that Alex told me a few months ago that he wanted his nose fixed and that he wanted to have the sirgery allready. The last time that we saw him was in 2011 so it had been a few years. The Dr. said that it should be sameday surgery, but he knows Alex and sometimes he needs more time, but I think that he is going to be a trooper and be able to pull through it. We did not schdule the surgery right away we talked about it in the car and we even asked Alex if he wanted to have the surgery and he said that he wanted to have it that is when I called to schdule it. I love Alex so much he is such a strong boy! It is too bad that he thinks that in order to get over something you need to have surgery in his case that is what you have to do.
