A new post!

Well its been about a month since I last did an update on Phil.

Phil recovered REALLY well from his surgery in November. YAY Phil!
His breathing is so much better. His nose doesn't run. His eyes aren't poofy. Best of all; No more snoring!!!

Phil had weekly doctors appointment with his ENT (Ear Nose and Throat doctor) for a little over a month. He has now gave the ok to go 2 months in between doctors appointments. Wahoo!!!

Phil has gone from about 3 doctors appointments a week to about 1! That's a huge improvement! His pain is still...up but he's doing pretty well with it.

We went out of town. He did pretty good! There were two pretty bad days out of the 6 days we were gone. One of the days, I was pretty sure we were going to have to seek out a hospital but Phil toughed it out and we all got through it!

Today Phil went to his first allergy appointment, EVER. Required for follow up so the polyps won't return, at least 10 + years!
The doctor (Ava's doctor too!) went over the paper work Phil filled out.
Then we got to the fun part!
They poked Phil's back 72 times and watched the prick marks for 20 minutes to see what he's allergic to.
Then they retested about 6 more specific trees.
And the test results came back.
Allergic to trees.
Allergic to most Nevada brush and shrubs.
Allergic to: Cats, Horses, Dogs, Feathers etc.
Pretty much to sum it up. Neti-pot
Can't mow the lawn, if he does he has to wear a face mask and take a shower immediately after.
Use A/C from May-October and avoid going out side.

So we now go back weekly for allergy shots (so he can build immunity) for about 6 weeks then every three weeks for 6 months.
Excited and hopeful that these allergy shots will work. :)
