Well bummer

Well big bummer...

Looks like Sophia's tenth procedure is going to lead to the eleventh!! Waah! We did not get the results we were expecting for Sophia's procedure Monday. Sophia did great. She of course has no issues with nurses or doctors. She has always been around them. She went back with the nurse for the bronch, no problem. Of course she had Mickey Mouse playing for Sophia on her iPad so she loved that. The nurse came back and told me that Sophia fell asleep watching Mickey and rubbing the doctors hand. Gulp! She is too sweet I swear. The procedure only lasted 45 mins and she slept for 15 minutes in recovery. When she woke up she did not cry or fuss. When they wheeled her back to us she just sat up calmly and reached for me. The only part she didn't like was the bandaid. Sophia lost it! Big giant tears when they took the bandaid off from the IV. Poor girl! She definitely wanted mommy then lol. The doctors went over the bronch results with us and said that the lower airway looks good but the upper airway is still narrow and that her tonsils are enlarged and compressing on her esophagus. His opinion was to consult ENT and our pulmonary doctor again before a sleep study. The doctors called today and the sleep study is now cancelled and we are going to be visiting ENT soon to discuss removing her tonsils and the next steps. This girl can't catch a break I swear. I am glad we did the bronch before trying to take the trach out because she would have just failed again. I guess on the bright side this may give her a better chance the next time we try. I am just dreading another surgery. She's older now and not going to forget so easily. Ugh! I just hate it for her. 11 procedures and she is not even 3!! Heck. I'm 20 plus years :) and I have only been put to sleep twice and I imagine that is the case for most adults. Well I guess all we can do is to keep moving on! And moving on!
