Today was the clinic appointment with the MDA. This was more for the physical needed for him to be able to attend camp this year then anything. He's looking forward to attending this year. Not sure which part he is more excited about ... activities or the girls that will be there. Probably a mixture of both?
Dr. F happens to be the same doc he seen last appointment and I am rather pleased with how he handles things. You see this doc doesn't push or attempt to push ideas or/and treatments down the throat of the parents. He listens and answers questions we may have at the time. He lets us know what areas the FRDA is progressing from what he can see. Kody's legs have become tight but his ankle area has is able to flexed pretty well. And the usual about his swallowing ... slow down and take sips rather than gulps because it tires his esophagus out and if he is coughing after gulping it's because the liquid is hitting the lungs. Goal is to prevent aspiration pneumonia. Next appointment is due to be scheduled April 2012 right before camp again.
FCAT testing is this week which of course Kody isn't exactly looking forward to but then again what child is. He is rather intelligent so I don't forsee him having much issues when it comes to the testing.
