The Monday that Baby was released from the hospital, Bubba was at the pediatrician's office. He had an ear infection and RSV, which he contracted while on antibiotics for a previous infection. The pediatrician opted to give him an injection (which would also ward off pneumonia) and a prescription for the strongest oral antibiotic available. Since then, Bubba has been completely healthy.
Today we had our pre-op appointment with the pediatric ENT. I immediately told her of Bubba's new-found health, and she was elated. She suggested that we hold off on the surgery to see if his sinus infections and ear infections came back. Her hope is that, this time of year, he will stay well, and we can hold off on surgery for another year. YEAH!!
We don't want to have any unnecessary procedures performed, and we certainly don't want to put Bubba through the pain and agony of sinus surgery if we don't have too. Hope fully, by next fall, his little body will have matured and grown a bit, so surgery will be unnecessary.

That's great news and I certainly understand not wanting to put him through a surgery if you absolutely don't have to. Good news!!!
