Izaiah's 2 yr pics and updates
Izaiah's website

Hi everyone-just wanted to give a quick update on things.
The first  big news is I am going to have a baby sister!!  the drs. told mommy that the baby is a girl and she is perfect..so now we just have to wait on her.  Mommy and daddy are going to name her Jerika.
I had my cleft repair on July 15 and all went well.  The drs did have a hard time getting a breathing tube in again so the had to use a fiber optic scope.  It took them an hour to just get a tube in!They said my tonsils were very big and I had a small airway.  I am now being followed by an ENT (ear, nose, and throat dr) for these problems.  I go back to him after the first of next yr-so it isn't anything to serious.  After my surgery the drs. decided to leave my tube in until all swelling went doen and I stayed in the PICU.  My tube came out the next day and I did very well and got to come home the next day-this was the best recovery I had from any of my surgeries so far!  My repair went well and I don't see that dr again for a year! 
The last thing is I got my new AFO's for my feet.  These help me stand flat-footed and I wear them when I am working on my standing and eventually walking.  I like them ok-although they sometimes bother me-I am getting used to them.
Well-thats about it-not a whole lot of new stuff going on right now.  I am happy and healthy and enjoying my summer!  This page also has my 2yr pictures on it so I hope you enjoy!

Tomorrow is my 2nd birthday!!!  I can't wait till my party on Sat.  I am doing good and am now back into the full swing of my therapies again after the summer.  I also got my new glasses this week and I really like them.  I haven't fussed about them any and I am enjoying seeing the world around me a little bit better!  Here is a picture of me in my new glasses.
