Surgeries Rescheduled

Feb.2 we left for KC. The next morning we checked in, Josiah got prepped for surgery and we met with the anesthesiologist and both surgeons. At the last minute, we were told that they were going to cancel his surgeries. The ENT said that based on his observations, it looked like a classic case of laryngomalacia and there is a good chance he will require a breathing tube and overnight observation in ICU. Unfortunately, they had no ICU beds available. He now has surgery scheduled with just the ENT for Feb. 9th and the hips will be done sometime in the next month. Interestingly, his acid reflux and trouble eating are very likely tied to this airway obstruction. He won’t know until he goes in to look with a scope whether or not it will be necessary to trim any tissue, but he didn’t want to risk needing the ICU and it not being available.
