Esophagram Take 2

       Well last Thursday Mommy, Daddy and I got some bad news.  We found out that one of my vocal cords became paralyzed because of the ventilator which is making it hard for me to make noise.  There are a number of different things they can do to try and correct this and they said it can even be just temporary.  Still it wasn't anything that anyone could have predicted or even wanted to hear.  After a couple of nights of withdraws I'm completely off dialudid, morphine, and versed.  That means all I need to do is get off precedex and I won't have a need for an IV anymore.  They are planning on taking the precedex off today!!! 

       Also from the picture above can you tell I love television?  I've seen Go Diego Go: The Jaguar Rescue a couple of times.  I've also watched The Lion King, 101 Dalmatians, Despicable Me and Toy Story 3.

Today was my second Esophagram and we found out that my contained leak is getting better!!! PTL! My surgeon said that we have to continue to check it every week to make sure the leak is getting better and there are no strictures but WE CAN GO HOME and wait!!! I will being going home within a couple of days along with my G/J Tube and maybe my PICC Line. A lot of paper work has to be done and some tests need to take place but I get to go HOME!!!

I'm not for sure what day I get to go home but we will update everyone on here as soon as we know.  Thanks for everyone's continued prayers and support, although we get to go home we will still need to come back to the hospital every week so keep those prayers coming!
