Brendan suffered through Day 1 of “doctors week”. Today he had his endoscopy at the ENT’s office. It was just as horrific to Brendan as I imagined it would be, and three people had to hold him down. It was over quickly.
The good bad news is that the doctor could not find anything wrong. He scoped through his nose and down his throat and looked as his vocal cords. The doctor said that they looked beautiful. He removed the trach and ran the scope through the stoma and looked in his upper airway. It looked great too. There is no explanation as to why Brendan has so much difficulty without the trach in.
So going forward, Brendan’s ENT is going to have to consult with other doctors. He will present Brendan’s case at his next conference. He will consult with the cardiologists. Brendan’s next appointment isn’t until January 4th. So we are back in “wait and see” mode.
Brendan’s reward for his tortures today – his new transforming remote control batbot. He has already told BatBot that it is his best friend.
Trevor spent the afternoon with Gramma playing toys and baking real cakes. It was nice for Bill to be able to come with me for this appointment. Doctors week continues with the boys’ four-year wellness checkup with their pediatrician and FOUR immunizations!! The boys will be mad at me. Wednesday is a GI follow up.
Where did November come from?
Thankfully Day 1 is over. Now, the wait, and the “why!” Thinking of you all, as you continue this week of ” this is not fun!”
😉 Where did November come from?…….
I think December pulled it in, and , because December was thinking of Christmas trees, made sure that November would be full of “needles”. 😉 🙂 🙂
OK, maybe not.
Looked like the boys had a great time wading in the Pacific Ocean.
