His speech teacher recommended that he discontinue speech (Yay!) but that he have his adenoids checked out (boo!). So we took him to an ENT doctor yesterday. His adenoids and tonsils look really good (Yay!) but, according to the doctor, he has the worst deviated septum he has ever seen in a child (boo!). Also he has polyps that develop due to allergies that have never gone back down. So here is the scoop. He is taking steroids for 5 days and a nasal spray for 30 days to see if the polyps will go away. When he take him back in 30 days he will see the "actual" doctor who will determine if they want to do surgery on his nose. They said they don't usually do it in kids under 18 because they are still growing so they always have to have more surgeries later, but he said Scott cannot breathe at all through his right nostril, and in fact, it was so bad they couldn't put a scope in there to look at it. My poor sweet little boy. We did get Frosty's after the doctor's visit though. (Yay!)
He also was a baby astronaut in his class opera last night. His parents, those slackers, kind of forgot about a costume, so he had to wear his storm trooper costume, sans masks, which is a little too small, but it worked.
Marshall and I supervised while Scott and 2 other boys made the sign. He did Mars and some of the planets.
The kids wrote the opera themselves. Somethings about baby astronauts losing bananas that fall to Mars.
He's not much of a singer and he wasn't too excited about the binky.
Bananas and martians fighting. Only in 2nd grade.
A face only a mother could love.
Arbitration.

Poor Scott! I sure hope he gets help soon and that the specialist will know what to do.
And his play made me chuckle! Kids are so creative and what a zany, fun theme they came up with.
