We have rescheduled Drew's surgery for his ear tubes for Wednesday, May 2. They will also remove his adenoids at that time. Based on the results from the tests, the only major issue is bilateral sinusitis and they think that could be the problem with his lungs - drainage from his sinuses is causing the inflamation in the lungs. So the theory is that removing the adenoids will help. Plus he is on an extended course of amoxicillin which should help. No other serious abnormalities showed up on the test results which is great, but if the adenoids don't help then I'm not sure what else can be done! The waiting game continues...
The good news is that, other than a constantly running nose (clear, thankfully), Drew is feeling fine. He finished his oral steroid so that is one medication down. We also stopped one of the inhalers that was an asthma maintenance drug. Since there is no asthma that was not needed.
