Oh Boy! Life Life Life! Well once again I find myself posting months later than planned. Well, Jace has had his esophagus dialated twice now with a third time coming up in about 2 weeks. The GI Doc was very surprised to find that Jace's esophogus was only 2mm wide (about the size of the tip of a pen)! He was able to stretch it out to about 9mm (about the size of a whole pen around), but was unable to get his scope all the way through the first time. The second visit, he found that Jace's esophogus had narrowed back down to 2mm again, but he was able to stretch it wider this time and get his scope all the way through, so that's good. Jace is eating the best that he ever has, which is fantastic, but we'll find out more over the next few months what we're looking at in the long run. If his esophogus doesn't stay open, then he will need to have his surgery repeated. We also will be meeting with the ENT specialist and Jace will repeat his special hearing test on July 8th, so hopefully we'll find out what we're looking at in regards to his hearing. Jace has had a couple of different illnesses in the past month which hasn't been super fun, but he's feeling fairly well now and we've had super silly moments even if we haven't all been up to snuff. Jace has just started cracking up when others laugh, which is ridiculously funny and he has made me laugh so hard I've cried on several occasions. He is now getting out of sitting onto his tummy the right way and is just starting to want to crawl, but it's going to take a little while longer before he gets that down. He has 8 shiny little teeth to bite things with including his mommy on occasion.
He also loves putting things in a container and taking them out again. Jace also just decided one night to take his bottle from me and feed himself and he hasn't looked back since! I can't believe my little man is going to be a year old in less than a month! :( Time really does fly! It truly is amazing to see how far he has come! Bryce passed his classroom portion of his paramedic program which is awesome! Now he's about to start his hospital clinicals, so life is going to get super busy for him again in the near future! My preschool is ready to go and licensed now...finally! I am hoping to open up for business the beginning of August. Here's a few pics of my preschool.
Overall life is great and we are looking forward to spending time with friends and family this summer and enjoy summer fun together! Here's some fun pics and videos from the past couple of months.
