Caden’s Page

I got an email today from a blogger friend reminding me that I had not posted about how Caden’s appointments went last week. The short version of the story is that the MBS is still showing no signs of swallowing functionality. The feeding via g-tube is still in play for all of Caden’s nutrition and […]

First off let me say that everyone is doing pretty good. I have gone back to work this week and Grandma is in town helping Sherry out with the boys. Josiah is growing like a weed. More on that in a minute. Caden has a big day on Tuesday. He will get his first MBS […]

We are one week out from the sphincterplasty. I have been looking for some on line references that give a graphical illustration of what this surgery is supposed to do. I have not had any luck. Caden has been doing pretty good and we are praying that he remains illness free so that the surgery […]

We have a change of plans for Caden’s upcoming surgery date, and it looks like my suspicions about the manometry were valid. One of Caden’s speech therapists issued the following in an email to Caden’s ENT doctor. “I have talked at great length to people in the know about manometry for assessing esophageal motility. When […]

I hope all you moms had a great weekend. I want to wish my mom a Happy Mother’s Day before I get into all the news of the day. I Love You Mom!!! We spent part of the morning at MUSC visiting Caden’s ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor. The visit was scheduled to discuss […]

I know that is a gross word, but “goobers” best describes this month for Caden. Caden has been cutting molars this past week which definitely increases the goobers.
