All seems to be going well with Caleb and his adjustment. He has gotten up and out of bed in the middle of the night the last 2 nights. But, when taken into our bed, he has gone right back to sleep. He has adjusted well with his days and nights, which was much easier than I can say about myself when traveling over there.
Caleb had his appointment with Dr. Hussain (cleft palate specialist and plastic surgeon) yesterday afternoon. Dr. Hussain looked his mouth and then took time to answer all of our questions. We have scheduled the surgery for May 1 at Avera McKennan. He will put a palate in at this time. He will plan another surgery in about 2 years to fix the nose, and thicken the skin under the nose. Unfortunately, he will not do the surgery in conjunction with the urologist, so we will have to plan for 2 sugeries, which is not appealing. Caleb goes to the pediatric urologist on the 21st of the month.
We have been out visiting every day and I am ready to stay at home for a day, but he really looks forward to getting out and going! I hope winter is going away and then we will be able to play outside more. Caleb doesn't really like the cold and the snow did not appeal to him. It doesn't help that he took his mittens off as soon as he got out in it! Hopefully after the hot summer, he will like the snow a little more. We will also be able to explain it to him better, as he will have a greater understanding of vocabulary.
Today, we went for lunch with Abby. I wasn't sure if Caleb would like the lunch, but I'm not sure why I thought that. He loved it and ate during Abby's lunch and was still eating 30 minutes later, when Keanan came out, so we stayed for his half-hour lunch also.
