Morning All!
Just wanted to post our results from our ENT/speech visit at the hospital:
Andy's tube fell out on the left. The ENT says there is a permanent hole there now, as it has not healed in over a month. Typically this is bad, but for cleft kids, it's good. It means he doesn't have to have another tube inserted, he has a natural tube. Cool, huh? We have to take more serious water precautions though.
He had a hearing test and was an angel. He was so good, they got almost all ranges tested with the headphones. He has normal hearing!
We went to see the cleft speech so she could see his progress. She started him on "nose plugging" to say his "B" sound. He puts his little fingers on the sides of his nose and plugs it up and then says "B"!!!!!
He was "on" for 5 hours, and is the most mellow kid I ever met. The doctors and therapists were GREAT, but I am still impressed how Andy tolerated everything they did. The ENT staff pinned him down while the doctor looked in his ears with a microscope and dug ear wax out....not a peep from Andy. He just sat there with wide eyes staring at mommy.
No pictures today, I'll post a video of Andy and his "B" sound as soon as I get it!

MY RACE DAY!

I signed up for the GO! St Louis 1/2 marathon and have been training all winter!

I finished in 2:14:44. My goal was 2:10, so I am pretty happy with the outcome. The course was difficult...had lots of long slow hills. Boy am I SORE!
That's all here, kids are good, I am going out of town for a conference this weekend, and Grandma Cassimore is coming in to help Daddy over the weekend. I'll post some kid pics soon, I promise : )
