Joshua's Surgery update...

Pictures of his nose before the operation. Diagram below shows bone that they cut away...

As you know from my previous post, Joshua had his nose operation last week. You can see for the pictures above that his nose was VERY congested... Well yesterday we went back for his first post operation appointment to see how things were progressing up there... He really wanted to get the all clear so he could go back to school... So did I for that matter. hehe

They looked up in there and were very pleased with the progress I must say. They even sprayed the inside of his nose with numbing spray so that they could suction out any leftovers. There were none to be taken out. woohoo...

He can also go back to school from Monday which we are both pleased about. He must take it easy and not do any sports for at least another week or so but other than that he is fine to participate.

The Surgeon wants to see him one last time in four months to do the final check up and then we don't believe that we have to go back again. Amazing, after nearly 11 years of nothing but a congested nose to be finally be free of specialists and hospitals and medication... How awesome is that.

Cheers Damaris
