Quinn's next op on Tuesday - RECONSTRUCTION of Ossicles

[Guest guest]

So I got a call from our ENT the other night (yup he phones me at night and we sms over week-ends etc etc. He is awesome - seriously if anyone in Cape Town needs an ENT referral use DR Oliver Raynham.

He is THE BEST doctor I have ever encountered bar none. He is skilled, professional, friendly and very caring. I love him lots!) Anyhoo...He has scheduled Quinn's next op for tomorrow. He wants to go back

into the RIGHT ear (his worse ear) and do some reconstruction work and implant some prosthetic ossicles to try to recover some of Q's hearing on the RHS.We are going to try to find a way to get it covered by medical-aid. So he is doing some research to see what codes to use etc.Will let you all know how it goes, but Doc says this should be a much smaller op than the previous 2 because

he'll do a Canal Wall UP procedure through the ear drum, so it's less major surgery, quicker and the post-op healing is much simpler as well.Please spare a thought for Quinn tomorrow. (Early morning our time, which is late night in the states.)ThanksJane
