Hip! Hip! Hooray!!!




After waiting since JANUARY we finally have Cole's newest surgery date!!! This is HUGE NEWS! We were promised in January that he would have the surgery over and done with by mid-spring... Well, CCS, Medi-Cal, authorizations, etc... some of you know what I am saying. Our surgery date is set for Tuesday, August 2, early in the morning. This is a repeat of a surgery he has had three times before. In basic terms, the dr. will shoot his left vocal chord with a botox type substance, and this will make it easier for Cole to swallow without aspirating into his lungs, easier for him to breathe, and easier for him to talk. It will last approximately 4-6 months. Then we will wait to be scheduled for the same surgery again. He will do a post op two weeks later, and be ready to move to North Carolina by Saturday, August 20th! Yahooooo!
