~No more Surgeries!!!~

We are so happy to let everyone know that Ethan will NOT be needing any further surgeries at this point.  He went through a camera scope of his esophagus and a dilation of his esophagus on Monday and when we spoke to the specialist afterwards he told us that everything is as good as it can be.  So it is a mixed result.  In one hand we are relieved because we won’t have to go back and forth to Edmonton and put Ethan through a series of procedures.  On the other hand, how he eats is as good as it will get.  So we will have to watch him eating and be careful at least until he gets a little older and gains some understanding.  He is already improving leaps and bounds from where he was and rarely chokes anymore.  He is learning already how to chew and swallow his food to make it easier to go down.  It also helps that he has a mouthful of teeth now too!  So we will just carry on and love up our little guy just as he is!

So we can carry on making plans for the summer now that we know that everything is alright.  So we are going to put Ethan into a Gymniks class and swimming lessons for next month.  He loves to tumble and jump so we thought he would love a gymnastics type class.  I’m so excited and now am looking forward to summertime and all the fun it will bring.
