On Monday Ben saw his ENT doctor to discuss his airway inflammation and damage. ENT has agreed that his damage has to be caused by aspirating his saliva. It seems like the drool procedure has helped with the amount of secretions he has, so hopefully his airway is starting to heal. In three months, they are going to put him under and take a look. His cochlear implant doctor is also going to clean out his ears at the same time. This should all be doing on an outpatient basis (YAY, this is a first for Ben). We haven't received a date yet because they are having to coordinate the two doctor's schedules.
One of Ben's CHARGE friends turns 2 today. Happy Birthday Eva!

What great news Ben. I've got my fingers crossed that everything starts to heal. It was so great seeing you on Easter Sunday. Wonder what happened to the Easter Bunny?
