DiGeorge & Sean

Sean was seen by Kristen his Speech Therapist over in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday morning.
They did the Nasendescopy and it was so neat to watch the x-ray process of how they determined what was going on with Sean's Soft Cleft Palate. The did a mixture of Barium which was then adminitstered by Kristen with an ear dropper and Sean had to sniff it into his nose. He did very well with this and my husband was shocked that he was so calm. The face the X-Ray machine to the side of his face first and had him do some words and swallow and you could see every thing that was going on in his head and in his throat and mouth.
They found as Sean swallowed  the Soft Cleft Palate was short. We were very excited when we saw this and now know they will be able to correct the problem and are looking forward to seeing what this will do for his Speech. Sean will be 16 next Sunday 12/26/10 and we have waited for this information from the day he was born. We finally have a team of Doctors that will help Sean. Our prayers have been answered and Sean's future is looking brighter and brighter. We've gotten an early Christmas when Make A Wish called and Sean will be meeting Joshua Gates in February. My husband has over come a heart attack he had Jan28,2010. What a year it's been for us but so worth the wait.
