Another nasal stint in

Sorry it's been so long since my last update. It's been very busy for the both of us as I returned to work on Sunday so we are trying to get used to our schedules. I'm so thankful for my parents who have been watching Riley so much lately while Tony and I are going to and from work. I really don't have much of an update as far as Riley goes. The second nasal stint was placed last week and the orthodontist also anchored the stints down better so they won't come out. It has made a big difference because now the stints don't move around. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find our camera again so I don't have an updated picture of his progress but he is looking very good and responding well to the treatment. The orthodontist (Dr. Glick) says she is really impressed. She says Tony and I are doing a great job with handling the Nam device and all of the taping. We went again to the orthodontist today and she just adjusted the stints a little bit. She didn't even have to take the NAM out which was nice. Tony and I were told today that she would like to see Riley on Jan 5th as Cindy McCain (Senator John McCain's wife for those of you who don't follow politics) to tour the facility and Dr. Glick wants to have some of her patients there as Cindy and John have a daughter with cleft lip and palate. So we are hoping that works out. I think that would be a facinating meeting.

Kudos to my husband. I returned to work on Sunday. The night before, Riley would not sleep. He would cry as soon as I put him down and I could not calm him. Tony was at work so I had no help. I got 2 hours of intermittent sleep so I was dead on my feet on Sunday. Sunday night Tony was such an awesome husband and let me sleep through the entire night so I could be somewhat alert for my shift on Monday. What a great husband!!
