Oh my word...how has it been three MONTHS since I posted anything!!!! Life is full right now and Brody just keeps getting more mobile and makes things more interesting. I've realized that I seem to have less and less pictures of our day to day simply because I'm too busy chasing Brody around! Carson and Kellen are back to school (1st grade) and are having good years so far EXCEPT all those school germs! I've had one child home or at the doctor the last 3-4 weeks...ugggghhhh! But...so far, so good this week. In fact, that's where I could use a lot of prayers. Carson is scheduled to have a sleep study next Monday, September 24th and then a scope with pulmonology and ENT September 26th in Cincinnati. I do not want to go or put Carson through all of it unless he is healthy (so we can actually get some beneficial information). We will leave Sunday but I am debating keeping him home from school Friday and possibly Thursday to decrease the number of germs he comes into contact with and so if he is getting sick or going to get sick from school germs, hopefully we would know before we head out. Its so hard to know but on top of the fact that we haven't been to Cincinnati in 9 months now and last time, we really got little to no information, I also asked and found out that Dr. Cotton (ENT...world renowned and Carson's doctor) is retiring within the year. Although, I wasn't totally surprised, (he is 77 years old) I also would like to see him at least one more time before he retires.
Please keep us in your prayers for all the decisions to be made, for healing of Carson's airway, and of course, for his peace of mind and resilience. I will try to update when I know if we are going for sure. Carson has continued to keep up his weight without any supplemental tube feedings (for over 6 months now)!!!!
Thank you, as always, for all the prayers!! You guys are awesome!!
