On Thursday Jeff finally had sinus surgery. This was after 3 years of chronic sinus infections and daily pain. He was seeing an ENT doctor for the last year who was reluctant to do surgery and who made him see a neuroligist, allergy doctor, and more. Finally, Jeff sought a second opinion and was sent to an ENT at Kaiser Roseville who was optimistic that surgery would help. Dr. Kirnon spoke with me after Jeff's surgery on Thursday and said his deviated septum was one of the worst she'd seen and his right sinus was very diseased. She was quite sure he will feel a lot of improvement after surgery. Thank you Dr. Kirnon!
Jeff's surgery went well. It took all day Thursday and has been a rough recovery so far. Because he was bleeding so much, the doctor had to put packing in his nose which added pressure and pain to an already painful procedure. This morning she removed that which helped a bit. He's had some trouble with the medications too- not being strong enouch and also some allergic reaction. He's slowly eating a bit more and watching some TV, but mostly he's sleeping (in a recliner chair because he has to stay at a 45 degree angle). He could definitely use your continued prayers and encouragement. Thanks for all the well wishes, I have been passing them on!
