GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS
Well today was Caydens ENT apt. and we have some good news and bad news. I know alot of people would like the bad news first unfortunately the good news needs to come first because it wouldnt sound right giving the bad news first.
THE GOOD NEWS: He will out grow this throwing up through the nose deal. He also does not have cleft palat...however you spell it. He says that this is very rare to have cleft uvula without the cleft palat. He listened to his speach and he said that Cayden doesnt sound nasaly when he speaks so that is a sign that he doesnt have cleft palat.
THE BAD NEWS: He wont out grow it until he turns 12 or 13!!!!!! We have 7 more years of this frightful throwing up. He also said that he is not to drink from a drinking fountain because that also comes out of his nose because he is having trouble blocking his nose. The stroke is what is keeping him from being able to block his nose and controlling that. He is hoping that Cayden will be able to control his uvula so he can block his nose when he throws up.
He also told us that Cayden is not allowed to get his tonsils or his adnoids out because that will make this nose problem worse and that even to do surgery on his uvula will be too rough for Cayden.....but if he doesnt outgrow it by JR high that he will need the surgery. Please pray that he does get control over this.
