Our Dr. Visit today.
10 September 2009 - 1:09pm — Tiggerifficfun
At our last visit back in July Dr. Ward had discussed surgery to correct Clinton’s vocal cords and he wanted to push us off till spring 2010. Well...at our visit today we discussed possibly doing this next month and removing the trach in November. We go back to see Dr. Ward on October 8th and see if there is any change in the vocal cords and at the same time we will make arrangements for the surgery shortly after. This surgery would use Rib Cartridge (don’t know the proper 'name' for this procedure) to correct the vocal cord that isn’t working - has anyone experienced this procedure? I would love to hear any feedback that anyone may have. Thanks :)

We are all set!
We have our surgery appointment scheduled for October 27th! This is very exciting - It is very possible that we will have a trachless son in about 1 months time! And this couldnt come at a better time. We are having alot of trouble getting nursing coverage and my husband and I both work full time. The last 2 weeks have been very stressful for us trying to work our work schedules around nurses who dont want to stick with their commitment of their job!!! Very frustrating! I have to try to keep him well too! No colds for us!
That's really exciting about
That's really exciting about the surgery! I hope it's not too long away. The wait is quite agonising...trust me! Jonah's surgery just got pushed back another couple of weeks again so now the surgery date is Oct 26. 4 weeks and counting! The end is in site..... good luck with it all :)
