Team meeting day!!!

Today was the day!!! We left bright and early this snowy and freezing wintery morning. Made it just in time.
Isaiah weighs 13 lbs 2 oz. He is doing great! Everyone was pleased with his growth. ENT discovered he has fluid on both his ears but thankfully the infection is gone. So from that we know that tubes are a definite addition on his first surgery day.

We met with the surgeon. He stated that things are progressing nicely. We were very saddened to learn that he will be leaving children's in May. He wants to do the surgery in April before he leaves.No projected date yet just a month. guess thats better than nothing. We will miss him and wish he would be there to do the rest of his surgeries. We will trust in God that he has someone lined up to take his place that will continue the execellent care of Isaiah.

As for Dr. V., she measured his gumline and informed us that it was measuring 7 (I think they measure in mm but not completely sure) and it needed to be at a 5. I will try to get his tape a little tighter this week and prayer for better results next week. I understand that the timing has to be right but it was dissappointing today not to get it. I completely trust them and realize they know whats best but I am anxious. I think because it means progress.

Dr. V. had Dr. Shaw come over and check Elijah's teeth today as well. He thought he was going to check his ears and wanted NO PART OF IT!!!! We did discover that he has 7 cavities. He suggested the surgery. They feel they can clean, fill and maybe cap his teeth to save them. He doesn't feel that he will need to pull any but can't say for sure until they are in there. With that we have chosen to take him there to have it done. I will let you know when I know more.

take care
Amy
