Today I took Miles to the ENT for his appointment. He had come home from school yesterday on Tuesday with the most massive headache, and I knew that he had been sounding congested so I suspected a sinus infection. He has had so many sinus infections! I decided this was it. We were going to figure this out.
The ENT was right on top of it. He did a CT scan of Miles's face and saw that, yes, he had a bad sinus infection. When he showed me how small Miles's drainage passages were, I felt bad for how much Miles has suffered all these years. The doctor recommended that Miles have a sinus surgery to open things up. I agreed.
Miles is scheduled for his surgery on May 9th. I could see that Miles seemed a little nervous as I talked to the doctor. When I got a moment alone with Miles I talked to him about the surgery. He told me, "When I hear the word surgery, I don't think of good things. But when I think that it will help with my headaches and stuff, I'm ready to do it."
I'm nervous too. Miles is really special to me, and I know how he has suffered with his sinuses. So I'm ready to do it too.
