Today was another busy day in Pittsburgh for Bennett, with a follow-up Neurology appointment and a visit to the Airway Clinic. 💙

Unfortunately, his Tourette’s symptoms have increased quite a bit. Neurology would like to start him on Clonidine, but it must first be approved by his entire medical team because it can relax his breathing. With Bennett’s existing airway issues, I’m not fully convinced medication is the right step just yet—but we will continue asking questions and carefully weighing every option.

For his upper airway, we are being referred to an ENT specialist in the Aerodigestive Clinic who specializes in Bennett’s type of airway collapse. Because he has already undergone several surgeries and injections, there is significant scar tissue, and the airway tissue is already weak. Another surgery may be necessary due to the severity of the collapse, but it comes with serious risks, including permanent collapse or damage to his voice box.

There are still so many unknowns, and figuring out the “right” answer feels overwhelming. We will return to Pittsburgh on September 30 for additional procedures and testing to determine the safest and most effective way to repair his upper airway.

For now, we are staying hopeful, taking things one appointment at a time, and trusting that the right plan will become clear. Bennett continues to face every challenge with his contagious smile and incredible strength. He truly reminds us every day what it means to breathe beyond boundaries! 💙💪

🏀💙 WHAT A DAY FOR BENNETT! 💙🏀

Today, Bennett had the incredible opportunity to participate in Jarrett Allen’s Basketball Camp!🏀

One of the coolest moments? Bennett got to give Jarrett Allen one of his Breathe Beyond Boundaries awareness bracelets! 💙 Seeing him proudly share a little piece of his story made this mama’s heart so happy.

And of course, in true Bennett fashion… he showed up to a Cavs player’s camp carrying his MAVS basketball. 😂🏀💙 Because apparently team loyalty has NO off-season!

Such an awesome day, an unforgettable experience, and another basketball memory for the books! 🏀✨
