After much discussion between different departments and doctors, our medical team has finally decided the best course of action for little man is to do all his procedures in one day. We were getting information back and forth for a few weeks about whether it would be safe for him to be under anesthesia for the amount of time needed to do his surgery, the three hour MRI, and the one hour ABR. The final decision was that it was worth it to try as opposed to having him be under sedation on multiple occasions during the summer. We are happy that they are willing to work with him and give him the best care possible for such a high risk case. We truly appreciate everyones prayers as we prepare for the day on July 2nd. It will be difficult but hopefully the last surgery he will need for quite some time. :)
Saw an amazing new doctor this Friday named Dr. Fred Klingbeil. He is a physiatrist who deals with pediatric rehabilitation medicine. Gave us a lot of great information and advice in regards to getting Jameson to the best specialists and thinking about things for the future. We look forward to adding him to our list of doctors and working with him throughout little man's life.
No other major updates to report right now, we're really just trying to keep our little guy as healthy as possible so that our surgery isn't cancelled. He's been sleeping great these days and hasn't had an ear infection since April!! Thankful for his continued progress in his many therapies and thankful for the love and support of everyone around us.
Thanks for the update, Alli. Jameson and your family will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.
