Adventures

Today Carter and I headed into the hospital this morning for our check-up with Dr. Muntz.  Here is the run down of what we talked about:
~ The palate looks all healed, no hole to be seen!
~ I expressed concerns about his breathing while sleeping might not be the best anymore.  We have to do another sleep study (Oh yeah, you know I love 'em!!)
~ Had Carter's hearing tested.  Passed with flying colors, and the tubes are working well.
~ Talked about Carter's lack of eating.  Dr.Muntz said this is very abnormal for a cleft baby to do this, they usually go to town with their food when they get the palate fixed.  So, continue to see the eating specialist, we are also going to sign up for a class at the hospital that has something to do with eating problems.  If nothing works, we will probably have to see a Endocrinologist to make sure all his hormones are intact and working well.  And, worst case scenario, if Carter completely stops eating on me, gets dehydrated, all that good stuff, he threated a feeding tube.  Yes, after almost 14 months, the possibility of Carter having to have a feeding tube is still lingering.  Eat my son, I know you can do it!!  (Don't worry, this is very worst case, and Carter still likes to eat his Boost everyday, so that should keep him from loosing weight.)
~ Follow up: Dr. Muntz will call us with the results of the Sleep Study and we will go from there.  I told him to make sure to call me with happy news after this sleep study.

So, there you have it.  That was our exciting day at the hospital.  Timmy is working the night shift tonight, so it is just me and the two little ones.  He should be home early in the morning, and then has 3 days to spend with us!!!
