ENT Update

Matthew has been his normal, happy self through this nose break ordeal. Besides the hour crying immediately following his tumble, and an occasional cry out when he bumps his nose (like when he rolls on to his stomach in the middle of the night), he's smiling and calm.  And though you wouldn't know he broke his nose from his attitude, you can surely can tell from looking at his face.  His nose is bruised, swollen, and a little off center. 

Matthew saw the ENT today. The majority of a baby's nose is made up of cartilage, with a tiny bit made up of bone. Of course Matthew fell and broke the bone. He's just one lucky kid! Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. We are praying that it is a quick and easy fix, as expected. 

I joked that last year we were paying for our pediatrician's new car.  Well, this year I think we are helping our ENT get one!
