Well as some of you know, Chase had an aortapexy done in August, ENT is going to remove his adenoids and drain his sinuses on 10 Feb, then on 23 Feb he is going to debride his sinuses and then take a look down at his trachea to see if it is opening up anymore from where they moved the aorta. This will be the first bronch since the surgery and I am kinda nervous.
On to other things, Chase started kindergarten this year and is doing extemely well, we won the battle with the school district and his regular nurses are able to drive him to school and care for him there. School district had wanted us to use their agency..AS IF! The only area of concerns we have are his handwriting and his "lack of attention" span...but his nurses tell me he only loses his attention when the teacher is re-teaching things he already knows..typical Chase has to take things at his own pace. As for the handwriting, neuro already said Chase was born right handed (mentally) but because of the CP on that side he has adapted and became left handed...that's my boy!!
