Son needs surgery :(

Well well Well.........My life is still spinning, and I am trying so hard to gain some sorta control. My elderly inlaws will be living with us for a while, they are really sweet people, but need a lot of help, esp. My mother in law. I need to find my home again, as all of their belongings need a place. I am working ton's of hours..... And to top it off, my 14 year old son who has had sinus infections and problems breathing thru his nose for years. Will be needing surgery. I've taken him to his pediatrician over and over again, he's been to specialist, two years ago, one of the specialist noted that he had a deviated septum, but said it prob should be repaired only after he finishes growing....... Fast forward two years, his headaches are more frequent, his infections are more frequent, hasn't breathed thru his nose for years. Take him to my ENT (ears,nose throat) specialist...... He looks up his nose, his septum is deviated almost completely.. Can't see up the nasal canal, so.............Finally the smart thing to do is................Lets do a CAT scan to see what is up there......... FINALLY someone is going to see what's going on.... So, we go to the doctors yesterday, he asks my x husband and I to sit down........ And says the good news is............"It's really really bad" my heart just stopped... He said that it's so bad, that my son is really going to notice it when he fixes it.... Not only does my son's septum deviate and completely blocks the nostrils...... He has many many pulups growning in his sinus cavities, so many in fact, that there is no "empty" spaces. no wonder, he's been getting dizzy, the pressure in his face/ head must be terrible. I feel like i've failed him as a mother, he's been like this for years. I just should have pushed for more........ I just thought the specialist new what they were doing..... :0( oh well, can't change it now.........shhhhh, he doesn't know it yet, but this would be the perfect time to ask for an XBOX 360, mommy is feeling pretty guilty, she just might buy him anything :) thank godness he isn't driving age yet..
well, busy day today, must take my father in law to court hearing he was supeona'd for, dealing with his heroine addicted son. find my home, go to Katies track meet, go to sams baseball game

Hey Girl! The nose surgery is not all that bad. I had it almost 12 years ago. I have not had a single sinus infection since then. Before that I constantly had one and head akes and then ear infections the whole 9 yards. He will really feel the air flow once he gets his packing out. My nose felt tingly for about 2 years but not at all now. At first I felt that I could actually breath through my ears. Talk about a air head lollll. Good luck and this is a good thing. He will feel soo much better after the initial procedure effects wears off.
