As you can see from the smile, D's annual visit to Cincinnati went extremely well and they have given us the window we were looking for - two years! In all actuality the doctors were quite impressed with how much D's airway has grown and how well it has grown with him. The funny thing is that is airway is so large that if he needed to be intubated they could use a tube as large as one they would use in an adult. Pretty Crazy!!!
And, even better news is that on the GI side of the equation his esophagus is right where it is supposed to be and did not need to be dilated one bit!!! Can we get a happy dance out of that one??
Daniel did great too at the hospital. Our appointment was delayed an hour and a half for some reason so our wait time was much long. Despite this, D was a real trooper, kept himself entertained and was a charmer to all who visited him. When it came to putting him to sleep, he did not cry at all and Mike and I got to see first hand why they call it "giggle juice." It was very funny and we now both know what he will look like high. He even came out of it great, with no tears and downed two Popsicles in record time. They were purple - of course.
All and all a great visit filled with yet another set of milestones. Daniel FINALLY learned (or truth be told willing) to buckle himself into his car seat. His rational - "Mom and Dad were busy so I just did it." Quite a true statement on many fronts!
