Alright, not a great title for a blog entry, especially considering that we haven't blogged for a while, but I thought I'd get back into the habit, with just some short notes about what we are up to. The biggest news currently is that Jeremy just had his head x-rayed to help us figure out why he continues to have bad congestion. Our suspicions were confirmed that he has very large adenoids. These make his breathing passage quite narrow, causing him to snore, mouth-breathe, etc. There are two courses of action: surgery, or nasal steroid. For the time being, we are going to up his dose of nasal steroid but will discuss with the ENT specialist. Current medical research is very promising for the nasal steroid; a recent study showed significant improvement in 80% of young children tested using the same steroid we are using. Wish us luck in our quest to get this figured out!
