Earlier this week we received results from Ilan's recent sleep test informing us that he passed with flying colors. So, yesterday morning Ilan was taken to the ENT specialist for a followup examination.
Well, I arrived home around 2:45pm and asked Estelle what had happened at the ENT meeting. She responded that Ilan would tell me (Ilan was sleeping at the time!).
So around 4:00pm Ilan woke up and I went to his room - I found him with a big triumphant smile on his face and pointing with his index fingers to his throat area. He had a gauze bandage there:
the TRAKE that he had had in place in his throat for the past 22 months was REMOVED!
This is a major achievement for Ilan as this will alllow him to safely swim (with proper protection near his throat) in a pool and will hopefully jump start his ability to speak!!!!
Have great summer.
