So I'm sitting here, while not yet in true worry mode, I am apprehensive. Cayden's surgery for the Velopharyngeal Insuffiency is coming up on February the 15th. The VPI is a congenital abnormality. He's the baby of the family, our wonderfully rotten Sir Brat Of Emoville or Schizophrenic Superhero.
Due to stress when I was pregnant with him, my doctor put me on a medication called vistaril. Well while looking up that medication, I found that it does cause congenital abnormalities. Now I'm scared wondering okay if this is what caused the vpi what do we do. When he goes in for the surgery at the Arkansas Children's Hospital, I will ask his surgeon Dr. Buckmiller about it. She is also going to do genetic testing on him, to see if he has the gene that causes this. If not, then we may never know what caused Cayden to have this.
On other news we are house hunting. We looked at a 4 bedroom 2 bath home yesterday. I can see us making that "home" for us, for a very long time. We decided that Cayden & Rylee will share a room, just a way for us to contain the mess that they inevitably make. Plus they don't fuss near as much with eachother as they do with Tristian & Laci.
I'm missing my parents quite a bit. It's nothing for me to call Mom & Dad and talk to them for atleast 45 minutes to an hour. I'm so excited that they will be coming up here when Cayden has his surgery. I may be 31 but I'm going to need my Mommy that day. I will be picture happy when they are here. Our plans are that Mom will stay with me down at the hospital over night when Cayden does have his surgery. Since we'll have to watch for signs of sleep apnea, looks like her and I will be watching him like a hawk when he comes home too.
It's been rough for Cayden. He had to get his tonsils and adenoids removed on 11/11/10, plus also got his tongue clipped being he was tongue tied. Once I get new tires and the transmission fixed on the durango then we can resume his speech therapy at Theraplay twice a week.
Other news is Rylee is now on depakote for adhd. What a difference a little pill makes for her. Gone are the tantrums from hell, gone are her getting emotional over the slightest thing, I still have my Rylee just a calmer version of her. No she doesn't act like a zombie either, they put her on depakote. She's able to be asleep by a decent time every night, instead of staying up till 3 or 4 am and getting back up for school at 6. So it's been pretty pleasant in Ryville lol.
