MIA

Sorry about the lack of posts, but the weather has been absolutely stunning here lately. After three weeks of solid rain, we had warm temperatures and crystal clear skies. We've been outside playing, visiting farms, and collecting leaves. The boys absolutely loved visiting our local Port Farms, to play in the corn box. I'm just grateful we didn't lose a hearing aid in all of that corn!

We are gearing up for Nolan's bronchoscopy and fourth set of tubes tomorrow. He knows he has to go to the hospital tomorrow to "fix his ear," though he insists his ear is Not Sick. His nose has been running off and on, so the chances of fluid behind his eardrum are pretty good (especially since he had fluid when we saw the ENT a couple of weeks ago).

Hopefully the bronchoscopy will shed some light on why Nolan has such severe obstructive sleep apnea, so we can address the problem with the right solution.

Even though we've done this particular surgical dog-and-pony show before, I'll be glad when it is over and we can get back to "regular life." Going through the preparation and waiting on the 9th floor of Buffalo Children's is extremely anxiety provoking for Nolan, so keep us in your thoughts tomorrow! Hopefully this will be the last procedure for a long, long time.
