Medicus

We had John's appointment with the new ENT this morning: Dr. Hellstrom at Medicus. He was super-nice, as was everyone in the office. John is scheduled for tubes at their surgical center in Anderson on Friday, December 21st. We have a "pre-op" appointment the Tuesday before, when they will tell us the exact time for surgery, pre- and post-op instructions, etc.
They will only be installing tubes, no adenoidectomy or nasal lavage. Light general anesthesia, and John will be cleared by Malpass (cardiologist), when he gets back to his office Monday.
Dr. Hellstrom is left-handed and he was in the Lincoln Park neighborhood in Chicago last weekend (where we are going tomorrow!). Two interesting coincidences, which always make me feel better for some reason.
He also said John was fine to fly.
So everything is going smoothly so far, and I feel 10,000 times better about this doctor and practice!
Yea!
