One Miracle after Another!!

So today Zach had his ENT appt with the vocal chord specialist up at Primary. We went in basically because in Jan of 07 Zach was diagnosed with a paralyzed right vocal chord, and his pulm just wanted us to follow up on it to make sure nothing (food/drink) was getting caught up on top of the paralyzed one.

So we go in, go over the normal why we're there, what procedures.surgeries he has had in the past, all kinds of things. Then we got Zach to talk for him a little bit so he could hear how raspy/grunty he is when he talks. And then the Dr. put in a camera through Zach's nose down to see how his good vocal chord moves, and see if it looks like anything was caught up in there. So he looks around for a while looks at a couple different things and then pulls it out and says "Well neither of his vocal chords are paralyzed anymore, that happens sometimes." And my whole brain just went "duh... what?!?!?"lol. I had no idea what to say, i was totally NOT expecting to hear that, so all of the questions i had before we got there no longer applied and i couldn't think of a single thing to ask him! He probably thought i was quite slow, lol. SO basically he said he does have some scarring on his vocal chords probably as a result from being on the ventilator for so long, which is why, even though they both work now, he still has a soft cry. He said as he gets bigger, hopefully that raspyness will wear off and he should someday talk completely normal like anyone else! Also he said that the grunting he uses when he talks is just a way his body has come up with putting that extra emphasis behind what he is saying (since he cant yell or get to that high pitch most people can) and he should grow out of that too!!

So all in all it was an amazing day.. not the day I was expecting to have at all though!! It just amazes me how still (2 years later) we are still seeing these little miracles touch his life. He is such a blessing and seeing everything he has gone through and overcome has been the biggest testimony building experience I have ever been through in my life. We are so lucky to have been entrusted with this little guy and I cant wait to see what other hings he has in store with his life!!
