It seems all we do is go to Doctors..........

Wyatt had another Dr's appointment today, that makes two this month for different reasons. Justin was with me, and after the appointment I asked him how much longer he thought we would have to keep this up? Now, some of our appointments are because of special needs that Wyatt has currently in his life(eye doctor, endo doctor,pediatrician), and other appointments I would like to think are because we have bad luck(dermatologist,ENT). Our appointment last week was because Wyatt has a mole on his butt, not something he has always had, but lately has grown, and changed in appearance, but now something we get to watch every 3 months, and because of where it is located it will require a surgeon removing it, another sedation and we have already had two this year so enough is enough unless we have to. Fast forward to today, and we were at the ENT Doctor following up on our tubes, it has been six months since those were placed. Well, we learned several things at today's appointment, the tubes have started to travel, and they are completely blocked with fluid, and the concern is the ears might treat the tubes as a foreign object and cause ear infections, and of course with fluid being present this will once again slow our speech development! Also, I asked the Dr to look at Wyatt's throat because we are having a terrible time with proper chewing and swallowing, and I was not sure if it was developmental or if there was something else going on. I will not rule out the possibility of some of it being related to developmental, but guess what? Tonsils are graded on a 1-4 scale, and Wyatt is a 3+( tonsils are huge, according to the Doctor). Surgery, are you kidding me? We have decided to wait with this. The doctor said we would have to come back in 6 weeks anyway if not sooner because of the tubes, and we would recheck. It has been painful to watch Wyatt swallowing for some time, and at least now I understand why. No pity party, just wondering when we will catch a break! I know things could be worse, and I should count my blessings. But, some days I am exhausted, and tired of being the advocate. I just want to be the play partner, and have no worries like Daddy! You gotta love Daddies.............
