Gary,

sometimes i think he is straining too much to get the mucus out and its irritating it.. its so hard to tell because the surgery was so big.. he had swelling of course from the surgery, about 4weeks after the surgery, the swellign went down quite a bit.. about 2 weeks ago, his face looked red and more swollen so we took him in to see the ENT.. the ENT is treating him now for an infection.. the left side of his face, which was the problem side from teh beginning went down, and the right side has not gone down as much.. of course more noticeable in the morning.. no fever, no additional pain.. thank you!
