Home from the Bronchoscopy

[Guest guest]

Well I got up at 4:30 this morning got myself and Eva ready to go.

We left at 5 to go get my mom so I wouldnt be alone. Then we went to

the hospital, we were taken in at 7am to get her ready. Then they

took us down the the surgery waiting area so the doctors could talk

to us before they took her in to surgery. When the doctor came over

I told him (since he was the ENT) that I was also worried about her

ears and how she didnt seem to be hearing as well and he said he did

want to look in her ears because there was some fluid in her ears a

month ago. They took about a half hour and the doctor came out to

talk to me and let me know how she was doing and what they saw. He

said her air was was small and thats why she has problems breathing

at night because she was so relaxed that it doesnt open enough. He

is going to be talking to her pulmanary doctor and her cardiologist

and see what they wanted to do next and I will find out when I go

back for her fallow up. As for the ears they had ALOT of fluid in

the so she now has tubes in her ears. Poor baby went in for her

airway and got tubes in her ears...lol. I have to put drops in her

ears 2 times a day til Saturday. When we took her upstairs to

recovery she was somewhat awake but did wake up shortly after and

took 4 oz of pedialyte by mouth which she hasnt taken that much by

mouth in weeks. We were able to leave at 11am and we were so hungry

we went out to lunch (me, my mom, my friend Deanna, and her

boyfriend ). I also want to thank them for being there with

me!! After lunch us girls went shopping and then back to my moms

where Eva took 5 oz of formula by mouth, I was so proud of her!!

After I let her tummy settle her and I came home and now I am very

tired!! LOL!

Tomorrow I have 2 more doctors appointments and then I have the

weekend off. Thank god!!

the tubes can make a huge difference in her hearing and in her comfort

levels.

When Di's tube was plugged or out, I had to speak so loudly for her

to hear me-

We'd go thru this routine of her saying What? what? what? then:

Why are you yelling at me?? DUH. (about 50 times a day)

Frustrating for everyone-Plus her Dad can't hear, and I think her brother

chooses not to hear-

I lived in a symphony of WHAT?s on and off for years.

I know you're running like crazy-sometimes it seems you've never

really left the hospital. But every effort you make now, will have huge

life long payoffs. Now is the time, for better times later.

Keep the faith, and keep on keeping on..the rewards will be there.
