Kaden had a follow up with the surgeon today just for him to check on Kadens progress.He's quite happy with the way things are as far Kadens growth is.Kaden for height is average and he's still following below the bottom line of the chart for his weight which the surgeon seems happy enough with - he said its just his makeup.He asked about his feeding and how much hes eating.That varies from day to day.Kaden will put anything in his mouth but is not too good with swallowing hes better with things that meltsuch as digestives and butter,mini chedders, cheese slices,chocolate.We had a laugh with the Dr as i told him we went out for tea last night and Kaden had a tiny bite of my burger,and as we drove home he fell asleep so i put him straight into his bed.Then this morning i was changing his nappy and getting him dressed and i saw him chewing something and i said what have you got in your mouth and he opened his mouth and there was the piece of burger from last night!!Yuck!!
The surgeon also showed me Kadens x-rays from when he was born up until today and he thinks the curve in his spine wasnt present at bith but has got worse since 08 into 09.He says its probably in hie genes an he also has a pectus which normally comes hand in hand with a diaphramatic hernia.He also said if the surgeon in Edinbugh wishes to talk with him about Kaden past surgery his is quite happy to talk to him about it.He also said surgery regarding scholiosis is normally NOT rushed into and is normally done around adolesance.
So now its just the waiting game.
