Happy Day – Sad Day

The good news is that we have an official date: July 28th!
We have to check in to the hospital at 5:30am for procedures to be done at 7:30am. It is a bronchoscopy with removal of granulation, upper GI scope, and an intestinal biopsy.
He will get his trach removed after he is fully recovered from anesthesia and then he will sleep the night in the hospital. If all goes well, he will come home on the 29th with no trach!
We are excited and nervous!

The other good news is that Brendan’s motility study results came in “totally normal”.

The bad news has a couple layers. Brendan seems to have succumbed just tonight to the cold that Bill has been fighting. His symptoms are minor but he is definitely sick.
Even worse, it looks like we are not done with the MRSA.
Brendan’s nose is flaring up again and Trevor has another spot on his rear.
We visited the pediatrician this afternoon and both boys are on another longer and stronger round of the antibiotic and the whole family is doing the nasal swabs.
We absolutely must get rid of this bug before the 28th!

We went to Walgreens to fill all of the prescriptions and ran in to Iron Man. 😉 😀 🙂
