Ahhhh. October is becoming the month of Doctor appointments. Last Friday we had our swallow study which showed he is aspirating on liquids. What this means is that liquid is entering Connor's lungs. I feel God's hand on Connor because a lot of times aspiration causes pneumonia and could have put him in the hospital. So props go to our Occupational Therapist at The Rise School.
Today was our appointment with a neurologist. At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like him. There was no one in the waiting room and from the time I arrived until I saw the doctor was close to an hour. But he totally redeemed himself when he walked in the room and started interacting with Connor. The outcome of this appointment is that we are waiting for a call to set up a sleep study. I hope to complete this the first part of November. I'm not looking forward to this but I'll take it for the team. Its the least I can do since Jason agreed to Potty Train Hunter. I know, I know. My husband is the bomb. I'll be going to get some lab work done on Connor on Friday. Pray that the person taking his blood is good. They will grab blood for a complete CBC, Thyroid, and Celiac Disease. He also wants Connor to see a pulmonologist. This is a Dr. that will look at lung conditions and disease. We see this Doctor on Thursday of next week.
So on top of these Doctors we have a follow up with the Cardiologist, The 12 month check up, oh and we saw the ENT dr. earlier in the month. I feel like we are back to the first 2 months of Connor's life. Please don't get me wrong. I'm very thankful to have insurance and have all these appointments to constantly be monitoring Connor.
Our God is good! This isn't an easy road I've been given but the things that are worth the most are never easy. Please join me in Prayer over Connor's heath- mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Pray that God will give wisdom and His knowledge to everyone that comes in contact with him.
Blessed to be Hunter and Connor's Mommy,
Mandy
