As you can tell, Thorin is growing up. He will be 2 yrs old in December and we are so thankful that we haven't had much to report on. Although he has outgrown his laryngomalacia and stopped needing his reflux meds, this condition can cause speech and talking delays. He mostly screams and grunts, but is able to say a few words perfectly. These words are: what, huh, juice, ma, da, bubba (brother). Other words he can say in baby talk are ba boi (bad boy), tat to (thank you), ba go (bad girl re: puppy dog, she steals his binky). Other than that, he understands what we say and is very intelligent in knowing. He often shakes his head for yes or no and when I say to use his words he shakes his head no. All in all, we are pleased and very grateful for this condition being more on the milder side and these babies just take longer at developing their larynx tissues for eating, swallowing, and talking. He will get there!! We still keep babies/kids like Thorin in our prayers each day and pray that God gives them the guidance, knowledge, and support each family needs in keeping theirs breathing easy.
