Happy Halloween!

November 1st, 2007 by gpurrenhage

So we’ve been a little lazy about posting.  Sorry.Last Thursday’s doctor appointment was pretty frustrating.  When we told Mason’s dentist that he can pop his feeding plate out with his tongue, he was very insistent that we don’t let him use it anymore.  He’s quite concerned that Mason will pop it out and choke on it.  Mason’s surgeon, on the other hand, was very insistent at the last appointment that Mason wear the plate as much as possible.  He also won’t eat without it (not that he had been eating much at all!).  The final consensus was that we were to keep the plate in *only* when Mason eats, and then take it out right away.  He doesn’t mind that at all….especially in the middle of the night. :-)
