Wednesday, September 29th, 2010Today was the big day. Caden had a surgery called a cricopharyngeal myotomy. This surgery was preformed to divide (cut) the muscle that causes the UES (Upper Esophageal Sphincter) to squeeze closed. In Caden’s case the muscle has never relaxed enough to allow for him to pass food, drink, or even his own saliva into […]
Caden has been slowly improving since the New Year’ Eve emergency room visit. He’s been going all day without using any oxygen during wake hours for nearly two weeks. However he still needs oxygen while sleeping to keep his SATs in the 90s. He is tugging at both ears and they are both draining via […]
The Thanksgiving weekend in the Osborne house was a good one. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving Caden was cleared to come off oxygen. Caden did have one pop-up fever of 103.5 but it went away with OTC meds and has not come back. Caden has tugged at his ears a little over the weekend but no […]

Here is a quick update on Caden’s condition. We decided to forgo the ER visit we were contemplating on Sunday. Caden had a pretty good day on Sunday once he got up and started moving around. Sherry took him to the pediatrician on Monday and he has been slowing improving. We are still bunking int […]
We recently had visits with two of Caden’s doctors. The ENT visit was to discuss getting an ear tube replaced and potentially removing Caden’s adenoids. They will also get a culture of Caden’s sinuses and maybe even clean them out while he is under anesthesia. The ENT is waiting on us to schedule this one. […]
Great News from Cardiology Caden went for his 6 week post op check up with cardiology this week. The result was great. The nurse practitioner for Caden’s cardiologist said that Caden looked better than ever. The cardiologist said that he could not hear a murmur at all anymore. Caden was released to an unrestricted physical […]
