Can you believe that Jake turned two this past Sunday?!?!? Seems like just yesterday we were seeing him for the first time!!! How far we’ve come! I remember him being this little peanut with a cleft lip and look at him now. He’s scooting all over the place, getting into things like any other two year old. Truly amazing!
His next surgery is scheduled for May 11th, the day after Andrea graduates from UIC. He has to have a cyst removed from the base of his tongue. After that, we’ll hopefully be able to get the trach out! That’s the plan anyway. He starts some intensive therapy on his jaw next week. It’s got to open wider before the palate can be repaired. Never a dull moment in this house!
I’ve posted some pics of Jake out in front of the house in his new stander. We’ve also got the wheelchair type wheels on order that go on the stander. Once we have those, he’ll be able start figuring out how to get himself around while standing up. Of course, the ultimate goal is for him to walk completely on his own but a little help along the way never hurts!
