Today was Tripp's annual appointment at the Crainialfacial Clinic and it went surprisingly well. I was nervous about how he would respond to 8 teams of dr's coming in to look at him and check his mouth out but he handled it like a rockstar! He fell asleep about 30 minutes after we got there, so he slept through 3 of the teams. And only the dentist looked in his mouth this time so I was nervous for nothing. :) All of the dr's were very pleased with his progress. Developmentally for speech, he is at 12-14mth level which is right on track for his adjusted age.
Something interesting we found out is the Genetecist we saw back in February stated in his assessment that he would not classify Tripp as having VACTERL or VATER. The reason being that these associations typically involve renal and anal abnormalities and Tripp has neither of those! He also says the cause for Tripp's problems are unknown. So whatever the reason, God blessed us with unique fearless stubborn little boy who we wouldn't trade for the world!! :)
