Well hi there.

Garrett and Gus had their annual Craino team check-up Monday and it was nice and boring. Dr. G came in, talked to them for a sec, then said "They look great. See you in a year." That's just what I like to hear.

Garrett doesn't seem to have grown out of his jaw distraction yet, but when he gets the slightest bit of a cold , which is pretty much December through March, his sleep apnea comes back with a vengeance. We do a whole lot of torturous procedures each night to try to help his breathing, but whether the benefits outweigh the cons is questionable... I know what his nightmares are about. We're going to be getting a CT scan soon to check out his sinus cavities and make sure there are no structural blockages, preventing proper drainage of these infections. Hopefully, it's an easy fix like enlarged adenoids or tonsils.

His receptive language in pretty much on track; he understands what we're saying and can follow simple directions. And while he is learning several words and signs, his expressive language is lagging. But... who has two thumbs and couldn't care less? This girl! Why talk when you have 4 devoted servants that immediately bring you what you want at the mere twitch of an eyebrow?

So, that's our update. See you in a year.
