Today Ryan and I went to visit with his ENT Specialist. You might remember that at the last visit, Dr. Moe diagnosed Ryan with a submucous cleft palate, mild septal deviation, and a mild adenoid hypertrophy, and prescribed a steroid spray to reduce the excessive congestion the little guy had.So, today we went in for our 6-week follow up. Dr Moe wanted to see the extent of the submucous cleft and was able to since the congestion is almost completely gone. The good news is that there is no hole. The muscles do not entirely align like they should; however, it doesn't require surgery, at least not for now.
We may need to consider surgery in the future, but we're talking about at least a couple of years down the road, and Dr Moe thinks we probably won't need it at all. (Keep those prayers coming!)
We can also start weaning him off the steroids. I'm sure Ryan will be very happy to be done with us spraying something into his nose.
