I will have to say, this has been the best month for our family. We have had hardly any doctor appointments besides therapy so it has been nice to slow down and have a life outside of the doctors office. Tripp did have a check up with his plastic surgeon earlier this month, he went to check him out and he was really confused. He asked me I did do his cleft repair right? He said it was the best repair he has ever done because he can't even tell that it has been repaired. Since we got such a great report we don't have to go back to see him for another year! At that time he will also meet with the speech therapist there to be evaluated and of course continue our therapy at home. At this point we only have to go back to Wake Forest once in December, once in January, and then once next June and July! This is amazing for us as we are usually making that trip 3-4 times a month.
Since everything has settled down so much, we have been thinking more and more about cryotherapy. This is a preventative procedure that would prevent Tripp's retinas from detaching. He is a good candidate because the Stickler Syndrome gives him a high chance of retina detachment (which can ultimately cause blindness if it is not caught soon enough). So, we have lots to think about before he goes back to his Opthamologist in October.
Good non medical news, Tripp has 4 teeth!! 3 on top and 1 on the bottom! His drooling is also full force working on more. He is also looking more and more like a little boy instead of my little baby every day. Now I'm just waiting for him to start harassing his big sister like she does him :)
