I figured since I had to check her out of school, sick today, I'd blog about her story.
I can't believe that my lil' girl is already 7....almost 7 1/2! That poor baby has really been through some tough stuff in her short life. She started out as an infant with non-stop ear infections. By the time she was 3, she had been through 3 sets of tubes, had her tonsills and adenoids removed and had undergone sinus surgery.
To make a long story somewhat shorter....over last summer, Bailey started having ear infections again. By winter, the pediatrician referred us to the specialist at Scottish Rite. Bailey underwent a CT scan. The results came back last Friday.....Bailey has chronic sinusitis again.
So, here's the plan: Next Tuesday, 1/13, Bailey will be tested for cystic fibrosys. That afternoon she'll have her pre-op visit. Next Thursday, 1/15, Bailey has to be at Scottish Rite at 8:30 for another CT scan. She'll then undergo a 2nd sinus surgery, scheduled for noon on that day. The recovery time for this surgery is estimated to be a week.
Please keep my lil' Bailey-Boppers in your prayers. Also, keep Dr. Gower in your prayers....that she will remain healthy and well rested, with a clear mind and steady hands as she performs Bailey's surgery!
I'll be home with Bailey through out her recovery, and I will update at that time!
