I am still processing the happenings of the last couple of days. The anger and upset have dissipated. Now I am left with the reason and questions. I realize that the actual "plan" of the ENT may not be to bad. It is a starting point and we don't want to jump to the last resort. Surgery on Maggie's sinus is a pretty invasive procedure so taking a couple steps before hand is not really a bad idea. Just not with the original ENT!
This afternoon I had a chance to speak with Dr. Borus (Maggie's pediatrician). He spent over a half hour. He offered his opinion and support. During the conversation he helped me sort through some of the information and pinpoint the exact questions that I have. His recommendation was a 2nd opinion and certainly a meeting with Dr. T. So we have an appointment with another ENT tomorrow.
After my conversation with Dr. Borus I felt so much better. You know it is weird because he wasn't even supposed to be her pediatrician. I had talked to another doctor in the practice and she was supposed to be Maggie's doc. The day Maggie was born Dr. Borus was on rounds. He just happened to be there and was the doctor who checked her out. Again, when I struggled as a new Mom, he helped guide me through. We have been through a lot in Maggie's few short years.
We struggled with the decision to change doctors last spring when Maggie was having such trouble. We didn't and continued to work through things with him on our team. He apologized and told me that Maggie has changed the way he treats his patients. In the end, we are lucky to have him as part of the medical team that takes care of both of my children. I have great faith and belief that this man was put in our life to help us walk this journey. God has a way of sending angels to guide us and protect us. Dr. Borus has been that for us many times. I am sending many prayers of thanks since early this afternoon.
