What we have been up to...

Well this last month has been rough. First off I turned 25! Crazy it is such a weird thing getting older! Second poor Dane has been in constant pain :( In december he deviated his septum during basketball, after about a month of really bad pain, he was pain free and back to his old self! Then at the start of March he started having sinus pain, it just got worse and worse, we finally went to see our family practice Doc. He suspected a sinus infection along with allergies. He sent him home on antibiotics and flonase. Nothing changed, the pain just kept getting worse. We tried another antibiotic next and a whole mixture of other things, Ibuprofen, tylenol, benedryl, sudafed, Mucinex, all with no improvement. We finally went to see a wonderful ENT, Dr. Stock. He did a CT scan that day and said Dane's right middle sinus was complete blocked off and the left was partially blocked. He recommended a treatment of steroids and surgery. The surgery will be on the 21st of this month. We both felt relieved with the news that this pain can be fixed. We had both been having nightmares that the Dr's would not listening to us, or believe us, or saying they couldn't do anything. So far with the steroid treatment there has been no change, we keep hoping it will help Dane make it through until the surgery. I feel so bad for my little hubby. I am a nurse and my job is to help people feel better, it is frustrating not being able to help the person I love the most. We are thankful for good Doc's who listen to their patientsMe and Chrissy had a joint B-day party! It was so much fun! we put 58 candels on our cake!!! Our awesome friends came over even though it snowed 8 inches and the roads were aweful. We ate good food, talked, beer bonged, played dance dance and just PARTIED it up!!!!
