Josh went to the ENT today and he assured us that there wouldn't be any major complications from the perforated septum. Surgery, like I had read on the internet, would most likely be unsuccessful. But, they can put a shunt/splint thing there if needed. For now, he is just going to try antibiotics. I can't say enough how impressed I was, again, with this doctor. (He is the same doctor that took care of poor Benson when we went through all the crazy ear infections, tubes, mastoiditis, and then the PICC line.) He went above and beyond to make sure that we understood what was going on, how it may or may not be related to Glioblastoma, and even took an active interest in our family and our situation. So... everything is what it is. Not a big deal, in the grand scheme of things.
So, while I did dream that Josh had a hole in his nose, I guess I won't be trying to fix it the way I did in my dream: with anything I could put my hands on- including duct tape and silly putty! Ha! (Seriously, if only you all could visit my dreams.)

You know, duct tape is definitely useful for all sorts of things. Maybe you should give it a try?! Lol... you are cute! Congrats on Josh's 'stable' status too; that's exciting! Xoxoxoxo-
Kristen, I'm so proud of you for always trying to look for the bright side of things in all of this. I'm so glad you had a great doctor to talk to!
If only we all had an extra hole in our noses...two just isn't enough ;)
Kristen, I've been curious how you guys are doing. I've also been hoping to get my hand on your address. If you get a chance (amid the insanity that is life), could you e-mail it to me? Lori_Truman@byu.edu
Thanks! We pray for you guys daily and hope all is well!
