We came about an hour after the clinic opened. We were at number 17 in the list but when we arrived, there were only 4 patients in the waiting area, so we thought we could be attended to at about an hour. But after two hours, there were more patients arrived and we never called until four hours of waiting. There seems to have some problems with their system. We though that even if we were last in the list, they could find ways to at least insert us in between patients, but we were wrong. My wife got pissed off, so she got out of the clinic for some air.
Well, after four hours, it was our turn. And everything was talked about for our little angel. And it turned out good and going better.
We have to continue the medication. There is the montemax, the aerus, and the steam inhalation. The doctor added on more thing, nasal spray. She found out that Zayzay is responding well with the treatment of his sinusitis, so that's it, we will just continue giving him these medicines until the sixth month.
If the treatment will going to be great, the doctor said, we could be spared of with more expenses, specially for the operation to remove his tonsils. She don't want to do this, in the first place.
Well, until the next update...

I knew u said that but didn't understand why taht would make things worse. Usually getting those bad tonsils out help kids. I sure hope it helps my grandson. I wish your son the very best.

removing the tonsils, as they say, will make the kid more prone to sickness like colds. one there are some foods that he can no longer eat. there was a girl in the clinic that told us about a kid that just got removed tonsils.

Hi! I'm glad things are going on smoothly and favorably for your son. I pray everything will turn out really good for him. Going through all the procedures will really take patience. There will be things that will piss you off and that is but normal. Just be patient. Sooner or later you will get through all all this. I know the Lord will give you enough patience for the sake of your beloved son.

Hello my friend neil,
I am glad your taking steps to you have your son check to the doctor and help your kid with his apnea problem. but the tonsil operation seems to be a bit dangerous in my opinion and no doubt there's gonna have a good results some day.
It's better than do something than just do nothing and let him have trouble sleeping like that. i hope he completely get cured some day. my prayers@neildc (17238)

well, the doctor in the first place doesn't really want to do the operation, aside from our son, being so young, there are some problem that could arise after the operation. some people also said that it is not advisable to do it, as that would only give us more problem in the future.

Hi there. Waiting on the line may sometimes get in the nerve but we really need patience. This usually happens to clinics sometimes because of some people making a schedule or reserving first before going in. Although you might have been the first to arrive but since she/he still arrived on time to be checked-up according to her reservation then she/he will be taken care of. If not, then that would be such a bummer.
Good thing your daughter is now fine. Hope she well be back to her normal health.

yes i know about reservation or have schedule the visit beforehand. one thing that really made us got mad was we scheduled two weeks before but the secretary might have forgotten to list us down so we landed late in their list. i guess they really have to change some part of their scheduling system or something.

hi neildc waiting in a clinic can be the pits. but I am glad
that your little angel is doing well and maybe he won't have
to have his tonsils out. Sinusitis can be really uncomfortable
but it sounds like things are going well for him now. I hope you and your son will not have many more of these long waits at the clinic. good luck and God bless.

what really is annoying there is when there comes in after us, they get attended to ahead of us. i think they should make some adjustments with their system.
