ENT update

So in my efficient fashion, I have found a local ENT to provide medical management of Kyles Ent needs. His name is Jacob Robison he is new to Boise and we just left his office. Kyle now has a local ENT for medical management and coordination of his hearing loss, his airway issues, his sinus issues, and his ear infection issues. The specific pieces will be managed by Dr Clough Shelton in Salt Lake City as the ear surgeon. And Dr. Sally Shott in Cincinnati as the airway surgeon. And Dr. Steve Jensen as the audiologist in Logan Utah. Sinuses and ear infections and direction of care will be managed by Dr. Robinson here in Boise. This is a big relief to have this piece in place.

Dr. Robinson also was very reassuring that I have the best people for Kyles complicated needs already involved. He said Dr. shot in Cincinnati is the best at airway management for kids with down syndrome and airway surgeries. He said that Clough Shelton in Salt Lake is the best ear surgeon in the area. That is very reassuring to me.

Kyle needs to have a right tympanoplasty revision. He also needs to have a tube in the left ear as soon as possible or a left tympanoplasty. The tympanoplasty is where the ear is cut and folded forward and the inner ear exposed and worked on. Then the part of the ear that you see is reattached to his little head. Very sad. Pretty sore.

This needs to happen before the end of January. With that said the airway surgery will likely be March. And hopefully we can bring Lauren home in February. However Lauren's return depends entirely on her.

So now the monster from last week is smaller. The portion that remains is to get all the medical records transferred hither and thither. At least it's coming together smoothly and before Christmas.
