After Isaacs sleep study we had a follow up visit with his ENT Doctor, he explained to us that the drops in Isaac’s oxygen levels as he slept were not good. Actually, they were very concerning. So, he told us that we had two options. The first option was to wait another three months and do another sleep study or our second option would be to go ahead with a Tracheostomy. Oh boy, my heart sank and all I could think was well lets wait and do the sleep study in three months. The Doctor explained to us that his sleep study would most likely not improve as the bones in his mid face grow much slower then the rest of the bones in his face. The most important thing is for Isaac to have a good airway and if that means he needs a trach then that’s what we will do.

So, Isaac will be going in on Dec. 3 for his first surgery. He will most likely be at the hospital for 7 to 10 days following his surgery.

Here is a video of Isaac laughing. He makes you work for a laugh, so this was great to get on video. We sure do love this sweet boy!
