Scheduled Surgery for Chloe - July 2nd

Today was a busy Dr. day for Chloe. We saw the Immunologist this morning and the ENT Dr. this afternoon. Our brains are swimming so I hope this makes sense.

The Immunologist showed us the CT scan of Chloe's sinuses and recommended that she have some sinus surgery to clear out current and old infection that hasn't responded to antibiotics thus far. He also mentioned that her turbinates need to be reduced. As I understand the turbinates are small bone like things in her nose that direct airflow. Chloe's are really large and need reduced. While there Chloe also received a Prevnar shot. Since she didn't produce a good immune response to the Pneumonia titers this was the next step to boost immunity. She will have a Pnuemovac shot in 4 wks and then will have blood work drawn Aug 5th to see her antibody/immune response levels. Please pray that we see a dramatic improvement. The Immunologist wrote a letter for me to give to the ENT Dr. regarding a recommendation for sinus surgery while Chloe has her PE (Ear) tubes put in.

We were scheduled to see the ENT Dr. this afternoon to discuss a date for Chloe to have the PE tubes put in so we took this Dr. a copy of her CT scan too. He agreed with the immunologist so we are scheduled to have Sinus/PE Tube surgery July 2nd. It sounds pretty gross as they will fracture some of the turbinate bones (?) and clean out her sinus cavities but it has a pretty quick recovery time. The hardest part being no activity (swimming too :( for 2 wks. The PE tube part is really easy so it sounds like this will help her. The goal is to clean everything out and open up her sinuses and ears so she can hear and breathe easy. He said Chloe's ears looked the same as before, no change. She is still 100% full of fluid in 1 and partially in the other. The Dr. said the surgery will be like setting the "reset" button on her sinuses and her ear issues should be resolved.

We are praying that God gives us continued wisdom on how to get Chloe on the road to great health. I know he can instantly heal her or provide us with the people to help her. Either way is fine with us because we know God will take care of our little girl. We are getting tired of Dr.'s appointments but if that is what it takes, then that is what we will do. Thank you for praying for us. :)
