Updates

Posted by admin on Tuesday Nov 25, 2008 Under Caden, Life

No updates for a while, sorry ’bout that. Daniel’s mom was here for 10 days and it was so great to have her out here.  Gena and Adessa are still talking about it! Caden loved all the attention as well.

On the job front, we have a lot of interviews right now. Spanning the entire country.  Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Illinois and Utah.  So who knows where we will end up! This is really good news though considering that we know a lot of friends and aquaintances who have lost their jobs recently.  Scary.

Caden can now have solid food again!  He’s gagging on the bigger pieces but is doing okay. We are still giving him about 16-24 ounces of formula/whole milk a day through his feeding tube still but it’s just routine for him now. I did forget to post about one of his biggest accomplishments yet, he’s crawling.  Everywhere.  He’s just so exicted that he can chase the dog and his sisters.

Other good news is that after 6 surgeries in 1 year, we should be done for a while. We know that he’ll need some nose work, gums, orthodontics, tweak of his lips, and at some point we get the “break his jaw and move it forward” surgery… but those are a few years off. We still have some upcoming Dr. appointments (same ol’ same ol’). Dec. 9th is another opthamologist appointment. Also mid-December we have his other hearing test, for which we are sincerely hoping he will not have to get a hearing aid and that he’ll do okay there. Because the poor lil’ guy deserves a break!  :)

    I’m so glad you’ve updated, I’ve been wondering about you! Yay for crawling-that’s exciting news. I bet Caden loves it!

    I’m glad you have so many interviews, I know the job market is hard right now, so that is a wonderful blessing. Hopefully one or more of those interviews will turn into a wonderful job opportunity for Daniel and your family. . . that would be great if it was local, too, but I know it’s hard to be picky right now. Let us know how that is going, please!

    It would be nice to get together sometime, life is so crazy, it may have to wait until the new year.

    I hope Caden’s appointments in December go well and I will cross my fingers for you that he does not need a hearing aid!
