Booger Cameras Suck

But in spite of that our poor little baby is so brave and compliant. He did amazing.

One thing I didn't realize is the camera is only in for a couple minutes. Duh of course perhaps you are thinking... or maybe that was the voice in my head after we were done. David had the camera up his nose for maybe 3 minutes.

They sprayed him with nose numbing spray, but the stinkin' 85 foot long camera tube scope still hurt.

The ENT doc and our SLPs got a really good look back in there, and little D will need the p-flap surgery. His muscles look good and his throat is not too wide so that's good news. His soft palate will need to be lengthened back. And they will clip his slightly tongue-tied tongue while they are in there.

There is 2-1/2 hours scheduled for this surgery.

God is good.

He has surrounded us with so many people who support us. Who pray for us. Who love us.

Thank you all.
We thank God for each of you.
We are loving the spring snow!
This week we are playing in the snow and worrying and obsessing about focusing on staying healthy, getting rest, eating well, eating Tums and loving on David. Because he is stressed out beyond belief. Because he has been through this, and he is hip to the surgery jive...

He knows what he will feel like when he wakes up.
Like total crap.
It breaks this Mama's heart.

Praying that this surgery on Friday will only help our son and then we can coast sans surgeries for a few years.
