Today is the big day. The ENT doctors and pulmonologists are going to do a broncoscopy on Will. That means they'll stick a scope down his throat to look at his airway to determine whether we can leave the trach out or not. He's still doing perfectly. His oxygen saturation levels are awesome and he's breathing with no trouble at all. The doctors are very optimistic that he'll do fine without the trach. Matt and I are hopeful, but scared. All signs say that Will is just fine, but you never know what tests can show. The good news is, if the test comes back fine, they should discharge him today so we can take our trach-free baby home!
We're not sure what time they're doing the scope. He's an add-on to the schedule, so they could take him at any time. Everybody just pray that today goes well, and we'll post an update as soon as we can.
