Kaden is now having serious episodes where he quits breathing and his heart rate drops. He is on a special monitor now that has a really loud alarm that goes off so I can reach over and stimulate him to breath again. These episodes are called apnea and bradycardia. He must have a sleep study as soon as possible to see why this is all of a sudden occuring. I told you all that we were having a visit to the cardiologist and he confirmed that Kaden does indeed have pulmonary hypertension. This will make it a bit more difficult for him to recover from his surgery. He has also had a reccurent ear infection since May. His right drum keeps trying to rupture, so now he is getting tubes in ears along with the other procedures. He'll also be getting his circumcision. Brian and I are meeting with 4 different Dr.'s on the 24th to decide how to coordinate all of this. We are trying to remain strong in our marriage and our faith. After all, look how far he's already come. Love to all!
