Austin had gotten to the point where he was bleeding 2-5 times a day and couldn't go to school. His local ENT said it couldn't be cauterized anymore and referred us to an ENT in Nashville that did more extensive work, including a septal dermoplasty. The ENT in Nashville evaluated Austin and did a septoplasty and he's recovered so well!

I think the cautery the ENT did last Thursday is working! ***knocking on wood***
He tried to go to school Friday and had 4 bleeds and had to go home for another infusion. But since that last infusion he hasn't had a single bleed!
He was hurting pretty bad Friday, and missed the game Friday night. And he was really worried because the band policy is that if you miss a practice, you miss all activities following that practice. He missed practice Thursday, and there was a home game
