Updates

Dalton:
We had Dalton's 2 week check-up today and talked to the doctor a little more about his back.  Apparently, the radiologist who read the MRI said that it was too hard to see if his spine was fused in an MRI and that they should have ordered a CT scan instead.  Our doctor said that he doesn't want to order another test that we would have to sedate him for, so we'll wait and see an orthopedic surgeon first and see what he says.  Our doctor said that he's not sure what to tell us about what the hemi-vertebrae in his back will mean for him long-term, so we still have to wait to find out for sure.

Saxon:
Saxon had his appointment with the ENT today and it looks like he does need his tonsils out.  He said it should help with his snoring and his restless sleep.  He said that after the surgery, he doesn't care if he eats anything, but we need to make sure that he drinks a lot, so to offer him soda, Slurpee, milkshakes, Popsicles, whatever he wants.  I think he'll like that.

Bridger:
He's potty trained.  I don't want to jinx us by announcing it, but we put him in undies everyday and he hasn't had an accident yet.  It's been way too easy.  Nighttime will be harder because he wants still wants milk at bedtime, but I'm glad he caught so easily during the day.  He's still new at it though so we're just keeping our fingers crossed that he keeps it up :)
