The doctor opted NOT do the re-cauterization on Lilli. He seemed like a nice guy, but when I tried to ask him questions (as any concerned Mommy would do) I was stiffled. He wasn't there to answer my questions. He was there to talk and I was there to listen. PERIOD.
His recommendation, and I quote: "Put 2 globs of vaseline up her nose, 3 times a day." Are you kidding me? Why did I take time off of work for something that I could have been told over the phone. He barely even looked at her. What's more... WHY was I told that Lilli HAD to have a cauterization YESTERDAY? I could barely focus for worry... Sorry, I'm venting!! Please don't get me wrong, I am VERY thankful. Lilli didn't have to experience the pain of the cauterization again. BUT I was left with no answers.
He also switched Lilli's "gameplan" all around... with exception of the humidifier/vaporizer. She's no longer on any meds... just the vaporizer and the vaseline.
Soooooo, as he advised... I put two globs of vaseline up her nose last night... & again this morning... & will do it again this afternoon. We will see what happens, only time will tell! Maybe the simplest of treatments will work for her. It's so amazing to me that two doctors, from the same practice, 'treat' their patients so differently.
We have a follow up with Lilli's regular ENT doc on Tuesday of next week... and HE will listen to my concerns. Boy, I missed him yesterday!!
Thanks for your prayers yesterday. I could feel them blanket us. ((HUGS))
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Dear Jenny.....I am so sorry. You stand up for your little girl and demand answers and demand they look you in the eyes and answer your questions......PERIOD!!!!! Love you girl
We are praying for you guys! Aren't doctors so interesting? The best part is that your Healer is in charge. So, I am sure that He led you to that doctor for some purpose. Only He knows- right.
Keep us updated.
And we will just keep praying...
Love- Steph.
So sorry to hear that her nose bleeds are back. Sorry also that you had such an uncaring doctor yesterday.
Glad to hear that your regular ENT doctor will be back and you will get the answers that you need to stop the nosebleeds
Will keep you in my prayers
Renee
