Isaiah 7.17 : Updates, etc.

So the appointments yesterday went well. I apparently fell asleep at 8:30 last night, but since we had to get up at 4am again today it was probably for the best so I can have some energy tonight. Isaiah's in for surgery right now. He got his first bit of 'goofy juice' (Versaid) which loosens him up a bit and helps prevent the separation anxiety. He started singing to Rachel and me in the holding area before surgery. It was so ET like with his little singing voice and glowing red light from the Pulse Ox sensor. He's already got his tubes in his ears and Dr. Peters is sending off the fluid he had in the left ear since birth to the lab to see if it's anything we need to keep an eye on and get some antibiodics for. They've just started the 5-5.5 hr surgery on his finger and toe separations here a little before 8am CST. I'll try to get a post up ASAP as soon as he's out.

So I forgot to mention Isaiah went to the Audiologist on Wednesday, partially because I didn't go. It was one of the first doctor visits I didn't go to with Rachel, mainly because I'm getting low on vacation time at work and have multiple projects at work in varying stages of completion that is keeping me rather busy. I'm going to limit myself to just the specialist appointments and important things like surgery days, etc. Mom's fully capable now and able to drive again and now knows how to unfold the stroller after I walked her through it on the phone. His tests went fairly well. He still failed one test in his left ear, but on further review it turns out he has fluid in that ear which is causing the failure. It could be nothing, it could develop into an infection, but all in all it just needs to be monitored a bit more closely. Right now it could be one of the many things making him a great big Crab cake. Apert Syndrome kids do have a tendency to have more...
