Caden is doing good. He had a few appointments today at MUSC. The big one was with his new ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor. Caden was evaluated for tubes and another botox treatment. We went ahead and scheduled those things to be done on January 23rd. Caden has had limited response to previous botox treatments. We hope that a different person applying the treatment will make a difference in how well Caden’s swallowing responds. Caden will also get tubes in both ears on the same day.
Caden is communicating more every day using sign language. He is now signing bye-bye, all done, and please (sometimes). We are working on night-night and thank you as well. He is much more playful these days and loves to watch his brother Riley do anything.
I have posted a bunch of pictures taken during December including some from Christmas morning. Thanks for checking in with us.
We ran into Emory and his mommy at MUSC today. It looks like they are getting closer to finding some answers about Emory’s primary diagnosis. Please keep them in your prayers. It has been an exhausting ride for them lately. You may not be able to understand fully what it is like to deal with a child that has special medical circumstances, but trust me when I say their family could really use your prayers to lift them up.
I highly recommend that you check out my lasts post on The Land of Ozz promoting the new movie End of the Spear™. A hat tip goes to my friend AnneMarie for reminding me of the release of this movie.
God Bless!!!
