Update on the Little Guy

Two Months ago Jayse had Decompression surgery... His Mom Put This on Facebook yesterday and i thought I would share

"Today marks 2 months since Jayson's Chiari decompression surgery. Here are the miracles we have seen looking at BEFORE surgery and AFTER:

*before: apnea episodes nearly every night, had to shake him to get him to breathe. After: not a single central apnea episode
*before: greatly regressed in his swallowing and didn't eat anything by mouth for about 2 months. After: he s eating 12 ounces of stage 2&3 baby foods every day, puffs, crackers, baby snacks, etc.
*before: Jayson was aspirating daily and especially during any feeds with thick and thin liquids. After: he passed his swallowing get and is now learning to drink thick and thin liquids
*before: j was on 3/4 liter of oxygen day and night, and would still desat frequently. After: j has been off of oxygen for two weeks now with minimal desats
*before: he had poor neck and easier control, couldn't sit up, couldn't put weight on his legs, wouldn't reach for toys or respond to play. After: he p,ays, rolls, sits up, holds his head up and travels around the oom all day. He reaches IR toys and biter acts with them. He can put weight on his legs and stood independently for 1 second.
*he is also babbling, saying momma and noms, happy all the time, has more energy, tracking better with his eyes, is healthier, is more cognitively aware and interactive, and has many less headaches.

This procedure has been a blessing and we are amazed at the progress Jayson has made in two short months. I am such a grateful and proud momma"
