Daddy may get to have his trach. removed!
We met with a new ENT yesterday (Tuesday) -- Dr. Matheny. He says he thinks that the bend in Daddy's esophagus may well be caused by pressure being caused by the trach. SO...Daddy is to have a new swallow test later this week. Then on the 22nd Dr. Matheny will do an in-office procedure to look at Daddy's vocal cords to make sure they aren't paralyzed (I don't think they are). If all is well, then he'll remove the trach!!!!
Daddy is thrilled and so are we! If this works, Daddy may regain the ability to eat normally, which means the g-tube will eventually be removed!
Yeah!
And after rereading my posts, I don't think I've mentioned it here -- Daddy is no longer on Lamictal and he's no longer manic!
Another Yea!
