Otolaryngology Appointment

Job had his oto follow up today to check up on his left vocal cord paralysis. It looks as if there is slight movement! Yay! Since he eats well and cries loudly and vocalizes, they think his paralysis is
healing. He will get scoped again in the future to check for more improvement as well. He is at greater risk of aspiration with this paralysis, which is why we are monitoring closely. (And the paralysis is a result of his Norwood.)

I got to bring the big boys along and they were so obedient and helpful and quiet during the appointment!! They have (largely) been stepping up to the plate as we continue to ask hard things of them for Job's continued care. So we celebrated with pie from the cafeteria and are playing at the hospital for the day.
