So crazy week for us!! Ryder finally had his mouth DR appt....and what did we find out?? he'll be getting mouth surgery. Probably in December or January. He is most def tongue tied, and he has a genetic gum deformity. He has a thicker upper gum that later in life will be hard for him to keep totally clean with his CP. It'll be easy for him to get gum infections. So while Dr Mancuso's in there snipping his tongue, he'll fix his gums as well. BTW to all the Page family, that deformity comes from the Page side, so watch out with your kids, this genetic thing can cause bad teeth and gum disease! gross. So just a heads up.
We've been at urgent care today with Ryder because he's sick. He's had a cold since tuesday, thats getting worse...and last night was a LONG night! ugh. We knew something was wrong. And yep, another ear infection for the right ear. They also tested for RSV, but THANK GOODNESS!!! it came back negatory!
Since Ryder's immune system stinks, (he catches anything!!!) and they think he's asperating, he's high risk for RSV and nemonia(sp??) So when in doubt we always check it out!!!!
We poor guy. He has a special test on dec 11, that'll give us more answers with his swallowing issues.
That is us this week. We're hanging in there!

My children see Dr. Mancuso also. He is considered the best peds ENT in the state! He is so good with the kids, my boys really like him. I like that he does such a good job during surgery. Quick and easy.
You know what's funny about the RSV thing? Both of my kids had it at some point and the doctor's said for a healthy kid it isn't a big deal. I think it is probably the kids like Ryder that panic other first time moms. I have been around a few that were absolutely distraught at the mere mention of RSV. I am glad you are watching over him and in his case I don't think you could get carried away with concern. I hope you, the parents, are doing ok. I know that stress can wear a relationship thin at times. Just keep on keeping on! Thinking of you always!
Our prayers are always with you guys and your sweet little man...even if our commenting skills are crappy!!! WE Love you all!
Kenz, Alma, Ash, LoLo, and soon to be little A.J.
