Cincinnati update

Today we received some important mail from Cincinnati....it's our information about Hunter's visit in March. Just seeing this large envelope brought mixed emotions for me. It's weird how just an envelope can do that. It had our itinerary of events and appointments for Hunter. It's a full 4 days for us.

First we'll be having an anesthesia consult, the next day we'll meet with a Gastroenterology specialist (other than reflux, hunter doesn't have any major GI issues but it's part of the process). After that we see, Pulmonary doctors, and then an overall Aerodigestive Center clinic to meet with more doctors. Following that, he'll have a broncoscopy under anesthesia so the doctors can look at his airway and see what it looks like now. He will be admitted for observation overnight. Lastly, he will see his ENT doctors on Thursday.

Wow, that drains me just typing all of that..my emotions are everywhere from happy to sad, to nervous, anxious,  scared..you name it.

I can say that I am very confident Hunter will get the best care in the world for his airway. Cincinnati is the best of the best. I still feel we are making the right choice going there for Hunter. So that makes me feel better just knowing that. I can't imagine all the emotions I am going to feel once we are there.

I hate to think that it will still be many hospital stays and possibly multiple surgeries to fix his airway. I would swap places with Hunter in a second if I could...

Keep my sweet Hunter boy in your thoughts and prayers if you wouldn't mind, please..
