CHKD Appointment

Makin enjoyed watching the buses and cars out our window Tuesday morning. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald house for two days so we could be near the hospital. It was great not having much of a drive for the two mornings we needed to be there early.








In the room of the speech therapist.

We saw at least 5 different doctors/specialists this morning, and it took 3 1/2 hours! Makin was very well behaved...considering. He definitely raided the snacks though. We felt very good meeting with everyone and it just reaffirmed out decision. It is amazing how much better you feel doing this when you feel comfortable with and trust your child's doctor. And the report we got at this appointment is that, unless any more fistulas develop, Makin will not need to go again until just before starting school, if there are any touch-ups he needs. After that he will have to have orthodontic work at around age 7-8 and go from there, but that will be able to be in Texas. It was great to talk to the different doctors on the team and get a clearer idea of what we have ahead. And, no worries about speech so far he is on track! Woo hoo! (His mom is still worried about that D sound though! :) )
