ENT Visit

We saw Dr Gamble today for ear tubes & adnoids to be removed. We are scheduled for surgery 11/5 at Presby Dallas. He doesnt believe Dr So (neuro doc) was correct in his diagnosis. That would be nice! He thinks Bray has lost about 25% of his hearing in his left ear. He thinks if we can get the sinuses & ear as healthy as possible, Bray will start to turn around. He is going to use a different kind of tube this time in hopes they will stay better in the ear drum.

No signs of separation anxiety today - so there's another plus! But he did have a meltdown at the Dr's office.


Also had a battery of blood work done at the lab today. Makenna wouldnt even watch when they drew blood. She said she felt bad for him. AWWW!! Sweet girl!

So the most frustrating part of all of this is the stupid stuff. Dr So wrote a prescription for physical, occupational & speech therapy - WITH THE WRONG KIDS NAME, BIRTH DATE & DIAGNOSIS. I called for over a week, and despite the violation of privacy laws, they would not return my phone calls. I had to physically go up there to get it corrected. then when I get to the lab to do the blood work he ordered, he didnt write down the codes for the labs he wanted done. Poor girl had to hunt & search for them. After all that, she couldnt do 4 of the 6, because they dont do them, it has to be drawn from the spine. Seems to me the Dr ordering them should knwo that since they can only be obtained by AMNIOTIC FLUID! Then the other Dr that ordered bloodwork (Dr Ferrell) didnt complete the forms correctly so we had to wait for the office to fax the corrected papers. GRRR. I didnt want him stuck twice so I was trying to get everything done at once. Needless to say, they didnt do all the testing he required either. They didnt even know what it was, despite the fact it was on their pre printed lab requisition. Wow, I am exhausted!
