It was a long trip, but it was worth the peace of mind. We went to Houston, TX to take Jeremiah to a dysplasia specialist to discuss his growth, development and medical history. Overall, the doctor was pleased with how he was doing on all levels. He did suggest that we find a pediatric pulmonary specialist for Jeremiah to monitor his lung development and capacity. He was hospitalized three times last year with low blood oxygen levels and the doctors were never able to pinpoint was caused this problem. He also noted during the physical exam that his chest was smaller than the average Achon. child. We will return to see Dr. Bichino once a year, so he can monitor his growth and development. I am just glad to have him as resource that I can call or email with questions that are sometimes not answered by our pediatrician.
**** We have canceled his tonsil and adenoid procedure for now. We are going to a pediatric ENT next week to get a second opinion and possibily have him do the procedure. I will update once we have more information and a plan.****
With all this said, we are very blessed to have a happy, healthy child that never meets a stranger. I've posted some pictures that we took at a Texas sign on the side of the road. Hope you have a great week!

Elizabeth! The pictures at the Texas sign are adorable! When we saw Dr. Pauli in Nashville last summer he also stated that Caden's chest appeared smaller then normal for an achon child. He didn't really elaborate and I didn't ask. But I've since wondered, is that something we need to be concerned about in the future? I will ask next year in Anaheim.
Good Luck with the T&A. I will be thinking of you guys!!!
