Finally

January 5, 2008 at 5:30 pm | In Uncategorized |

After months of trying to coordinate an OR schedule for your ears, teeth and esophagus, we finally got you in for at least ears and teeth.  Back and forth to Boston and local doctors, countless phonecalls and emails.  Months on end of you in pain and everything moving impossibly slow.  Ultimately coordinating in Boston was a no go .  Ears and teeth were the main source of pain so we went local.  After being dismissive about the condition of your ears, your ear Doctor came out of the OR very impressed with how bad your ears were.  I’ve been trying to tell him for months, but I’m just the mom, so what do I know?  Inflammed tissue, infection, gunk and junk from previous infections and blocked with wax.  Also a blocked passageway from a nasal polyp. So new tubes and a thorough cleaning and steriods so hopefully you’ll start to feel relief.   Your teeth were in bad shape too, also causing pain.  3 baby teeth removed and several fillings.  Janary 4th 08.

 My poor little guy.  You’ve been dealing with so much pain it’s no wonder you’ve been mostly miserable.  I’m sorry it took so long to get you fixed up.

  1. Wow, what a big guy Will is! I am glad you were able to get an explanation for some of his pain. I was just wondering - how did you know he was having pain? That is one thing I worry about alot with Ben since he may never be able to verbalize pain to us.

  2. Will is non verbal but speaks volumes when he is unhappy. He will act agitated, pacing very fast and stomping his feet. He will become self abusive with head banging and hand biting. He will make sounds like he is in pain. Won’t attend to toys etc as usual. Just overall quite grumpy. When he is feeling good everything changes. He plays, makes happy sounds,explores but doesn’t stomp etc.

  3. Hi Beth,
    Sounds like Will was having a tough time. How frustrating it must have been trying to get help for him. How is he doing now?
