Levi:(6) Had Thyroglossal duct cyst excision on Feb. 26, 2018. Surgery went well. The hospital stay Afterwards was terrible. Shared a room with 3 other post op kids. Levi has lots of friends at school. His reading is improving. He reads at a 2nd grade level. He doesn't like to read. I make him read daily. We started the Dragon Master series. He doesn't like to do homework. They assign 45 minutes of homework a day. I think it's a bit excessive. He cries the whole time doing it and it takes him twice as long. He is quick with math. Spiderman is what he's into right now. Needs to work on handwriting. It's hardly legible. Levi's had many Dr appointments and schools testing. We are trying to get him some help with his lack of fine motor skills.
