Skoot 's surgery

Skoot finally has had surgery on his deviated septum! This calls for a celebration: HOORAY!!!! This all started quite a few months back when we realized that his stuffy nose kept getting worse and worse. This got to the point that he was blowing his nose 6-10 times every day. We sent him to an ear nose and throat Dr. where he had a scratch test performed. . Surprise: skoot is allergic to basically EVERYTHING(even cockroaches, YUCK!!) It was at this appointment that we also found out about his deviated septum. This was caused by trauma to his nose sustained as a VERY small child. He was trying to jump rope with the drawstring from his shorts(which was way too short) when he tripped himself and landed on his face. . Who would've thought that something happening back when he was a child would cause him so many issues now. The Dr told him that it was a combination of the two that cause his troubles with breathing!Well, after a few months, we met our deductible and decided to go through with the surgery. Everything went great! He was a little woozy when he first came out of surgery but he was quite a funny Character!

This first one is Before surgery: Thumbs up for good luck! After surgery he got to have a fun milk mustache for a few days
