Kai's surgery didn't happen

Kai did not have surgery on Wednesday. His cough got worse Tuesday into Wednesday. Just when we thought he was getting better. We mentioned it to the anesthetist and he said he wouldn't put him under. His ENT doctor was not happy about this and made it out like it was all our fault that Kai wasn't having surgery. She was not very professional about it. We wanted to make sure it was going to be safe for him. His health and safety is our number one concern, obviously not the ENT doctor's. I am glad that he did not go through with surgery that day. It turns out that Kai has more than just a cough. He is sick; pink eye, ear infection, horrible cough and a viral infection. After that morning we have decided to switch Kai to a different ENT doctor (to the same one that Gavin and Jace see). So after Kai had a doctor's visit he was put on antibiotics. Yesterday we discovered that he wasn't tolerating that antibiotic. So now he is getting a 3 day antibiotic shot. Today will be day 2 of the shot. I really hope that he starts feeling better. His cough has gotten better, but it's still a horrible cough. He is going for a recheck on Thursday and then we will talk about rescheduling his surgery. It's so frustrating that he is sick all the time. He will get better and then be sick free for about a week and then turn around and catch something again. These little sicknesses are so much on him and takes a lot out of him (and me!). Some days are tough dealing with all of this, but his smile keeps me going!

Sheldon arrives later tonight. He is visiting us from Missouri. It will be nice to see him, as we haven't seen him in almost a year.

Until next time!

I'm sorry Kai's surgery didn't work out, but glad that he has a chance to get better first. I know that it is frustrating to wait, but it will happen.
