If this isn't chillin' with dad, I don't know what is. :)
In other news, the trip to Cincinnati wasn't the most productive ever. Orthopedics told us that his shoulder problems aren't skeletal in nature. I'm kinda shocked, really. But, it helps us narrow down that it's probably something related to his first big surgery, damage to part of the 11th craniofacial nerve. He seems to have damage to part of it, but not both of the parts (unless I'm not sure what I'm looking for). Well, if it's nerve damage... It is what it is. He seems to be functioning well enough.
His upper GI on his stomach showed exactly what I thought it would. NOTHING. Everything looks normal, and the wrap on his stomach is supposedly working fine. It didn't seem fine when he was vomiting today. Ugh. Again, I think we're at a point where it is what it is. He's still growing and that's the most important thing.
Clinic went as expected. The mass has grown, not tons, but it's growing. The doc wants the surgery in late winter/early spring. He's planning on starting up by the temple and trying to get behind his ear as well. Still looking at booking the OR for 4-5 hours, although that won't get it all for sure.
But now, we're on vacation. And we're chillin.
Love the pictures of Mr. M and dad. The one with his leg crossed is precious.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that his shoulder problem is not a bone problem -- hopefully with OT the nerve damage can be coped with adequately.
Have a great vacation! You all deserve chillin' time :) Aunt Joni
Enjoy your time away...you've earned a bit of a sanity break. Pictures are cute...he is such a laid back little bugger (Micah, that is). judek
