I realized that I never posted an update about Torah after she had her procedure back on the 17th of September. Everything went great. The doctor first cleaned her ears out and put new tubes in to drain the fluid that had build back up after the old tubes fell out. Then the audiologist did a hearing test on her while she was sedated and the test came back that she can hear 100 percent (they did this test because she never responded to the normal hearing test you do while awake). Finnally, the doctor went in and removed her adenoids. He told me that they were huge and needed to be taken out. Everything together only took about 45 minutes and she was a little groggy after and they had to suction her out quite a bit, but once we got home she acted like nothing had happened and was a happy little girl (pretty amazing!!).
We were hoping that having the adenoids removed would keep her from having all the sinus infections, but 2 weeks after the procedure she developed yet another sinus infection and was down for about 4 days. I just hope this winter is not a repeat of last winter where she had a S.I. every 3 weeks.
On another note, the kids and I will be heading to Denver tomorrow (7th) to take Torah back to The Children's Hospital for her "follow-up" and bi-yearly visits to her specialist. I am truthfully not expecting too much out of this visit. No special test are going to be done, so it is not like any thing new will be found. I will be asking the Neurologist what she thinks happend back at the end of August when Torah had that seizure, but really not expecting her to be able to answer either. Will try to update sooner after we get back from those appointments.
I have aprox. 8 weeks left before our new little baby will be born. Looking forward to that and also all the people that will be visiting. Bob is still in full hunting mode when he is not at work and the fact that the weather cooled off and there has been quite a bit of snow falling is making him want to be out killing something even more. Jace turns 4 today and we had a birthday party for him last night. He had so much fun and really got into the whole birthday thing this year. I decorated the house up and got him the cake he wanted plus we even decorated some cupcakes (which I am sure we will be eating over the next week - good think I am pregnant!).
