ENT and Infrared Radiolgy

For Josh’s dysphagia, we met with the ENT specialist on March 9, to check the ear, neck throat areas for abnormalities.  Through the nose, they put a camera into Josh’s nose and pushed it up the nose and down his throat.  Sounds like an easy thing to do but this was done without any medicine or pain killers.  Poor baby was in so much pain and was crying through the entire process.


Josh couldn’t sit still so the first attempt failed.  Eeeks.  They called in a nurse to hold him down and tried again.  The second time worked fine but not until Josh was screaming.  😱 I was horrified.  At that point, I’d rather feed him blended food forever and not have him go through that again.


On March 11, Josh did an infrared radiology scan of his abdominal area.  Below is the fancy looking screenshots that were taken.  No clue what they mean but we were told everything looks normal.
