Cameron had his check up with Dr Reynolds (pediatric surgeon) yesterday, it was in record time we were there less than an hour and no chest x rays needed which was a huge relief! The Dr looked at the films from our Sept visit to the ER and the diaphragm is still growing in a dome, so the bad news is that Cameron is definitely going to require surgery to repair the issue. But the good news is that we don't need to do this now.
We will go back in the Spring for a chest xray and then likely schedule a surgery for late Spring/Early Summer. Hopefully Cameron will cooperate with this plan and not start having issues with his breathing. This way he will be a year old and we'll be out of the nasty cold/flu season.
So for now we just keep an eye on his breathing & eating to make sure he is not struggling. We will see Dr Alden in two weeks for a head ultrasound to check on the hydrocephalus and his shunt, he'll get another dose of Synagis and a flu shot and some other vaccines all in one day!!! just in time for his first Thanksgiving!
We are feeling very encouraged lately with his progress and he's such a happy boy it's hard not to be happy when with him :)
