ENT #2

Today we saw a new ENT specialist for Zach.  The appointment went as we expected.  The specialist looked in Zach's ears and said the right ear drum had healed from its rupture two weeks ago but was still full of fluid.  He agreed that Zach needed a second set of ear tubes and recommended removing his adenoids.  What else could we do?  We've tried restricting his diet from dairy.  We have had Zach allergy tested (no dairy allergies).  The continual fluid build up will just cause his ear drum to rupture again, and again and again.  So - we are moving forward with the surgery - May 25th (intentionally this date to give us extra recovery time during the Memorial holiday weekend).
