Ty’s on his way to a doctor’s appointment right now. He always has them. I was going to go but I decided to ask James because this one is going to be bad. They are going to stick a camera up his nose and then down his throat and then make him talk (or cry) to see if a certain muscle is working or not in the back of his throat. It sucks because he will be awake and James will have to hold him down while they do this to him. I want to be there because I know he will be crying, but I don’t want to be there because I don’t want to watch or hold him down, every time I have to hold him down for stuff like that I cry and I am a baby. . . : ( I told him he was going to the doctor today and he said, “the doctors give me owies in my mouth”

They have pretty much already decided that this muscle is not working so they will have to do surgery on it but they have to confirm before they schedule it.

The reason why he has to do this is because all of his air when he talks goes through his nose, which is why nobody can understand him. It’s actually really cute, he likes blowing out candles which he is good at, but it is all through his nose. And he cannot blow bubbles really at all… One time him and Mike (his brother) were playing with those party blowers and Ty couldn't’t do it so we showed him how to plug his nose and he did it, so he went around holding his nose and had a good time. Then he saw Mike do it without holding his nose and he was like, “No mike you gotta do it like this (then he plugs his nose)” It was sooo funny. . .

So any who after this appointment they will set up the surgery and then after he fully recovers from that he will start speech therapy again. Which is good, but sucks because they only have appointments from 8-4 Mon-Fri and I work 7-4 Mon-Fri. WTF? And he has to go 1-2 times a week for a couple of years.
But it is all worth it. He is a good kid.
