Christmas Morning

the good and the bad.

A new year but the same old same old. I will start with the biggest
and best news....On January 18th at 11pm Matthew WALKED! =) yep we
have a walker, he is exactly 4 days shy of 10 months old, our youngest
walker yet and a HUGE shock! We actually MISSED his first steps, Mike
and I were talking and he was standing at the couch and the next thing
we know he's standing at the exersaucer and we were both looking at
him going "did he just walk?". So I put him back a few feet and
cheered him on and he did it again, he walked halfway there and then
plopped down on his butt and crawled the rest of the way lol After
another hour of walking around he passed out he loves this new skill!

now for the not so good.

Nicholas has a new specialist and it turned out to be a mixed
blessing, his old ped from the asthma clinic is off on Mat leave and
the lady taking over is a respiratory specialist from Sick Kids
Hospital. After reviewing his history and doing her check up the poor
lady almost lost it, his "normal" day-snoring that we have been told
SINCE BIRTH is normal is "Absolutely NOT normal and very far from it"
and she is almost 100% certain that he is having micro-collapses in
his lungs while he is sleeping. He is being booked for a sleep study
and a feeding study asap, but even as an emergency she said it would
take SIX MONTHS to get it done! She said her biggest concern in
micro-collapses but it could be one of two things or both, he is
either having the micro-collapses, having food and liquid entering his
lungs while eating/drinking, or both and is determined to find a cause
for his repeat infections and severe asthma attacks before she leaves
at the end of the year. She changed his meds up a bit and we go back
in 2months to see how they are working and to see if he's been sick
again. So so far this year he will be having two surgeries, a sleep
study, and a feeding study it is looking to be another very very busy
year!
