Dakota Update

Well on Thursday morning we headed to Ft. Wayne for Dakota's appointment with his specialist regarding his cleft palate. The doctor we saw was very informative and helpful. He was an ENT so he took a good look at Dakota's ears and saw that there is quite a bit of fluid on his ears, he says because of the large opening in his mouth keeps constant fluid build up that. I guess that would definitely explain the numerous ear infections we have been fighting in the last several months. So he told us that when the surgery is done to repair his palate he would suggest also doing tubes for his ears because of the fluid build up that is there.
We are being referred to a plastic surgeon who will look at Dakota and then do the surgery to fix his palate. We still do not have an appointment with this specialist but I would look for it to be soon. So for now we are in the waiting game once again.
