Specialist visit

Alan had the specialist yesterday from the hospital in Glasgow to review his annual review results and i have to say it came as a huge shock to me and I'm finding it very difficult to come to terms with. As you all know every month really I'm telling you that Alan has some sort of infection and our own hospital have always thought that it is upper respiratory infections and they have given him antibiotics to combat them but yesterday the consultant hit us with the bombshell that Alan's lungs have significant changes since last year, i can hardly believe it. They score them out of 25 for the condition of their lungs and Alan only scored 15, he is only 7 so that is not a good score at all. I'm gutted. They also are sending him for a MRI scan to have a detailed look at his lungs and sinus system, they are putting him to sleep to deep wash all his sinuses to try to prevent infections or to wash out any bugs that are lurking. He has also been referred to the optromitist, he has been having double vision and headaches and not seeing his work very well, he had his eyes tested and its not his eyes so they are investigating that. He went to see the surgeon last week due to the fact he is having a rectal prolapse almost every time he goes to the toilet, so the surgeon in the next few weeks are going to try to repair it or if necessary remove a bit of his bowel to stop this happening. He suffered from it before and they repaired it, but until they actually have a look they wont know. Its been a very stressful start to the year.
