Davin's Bronchoscopy
Davin had his Bronchoscopy last Tuesday. They stuck a tube down through his nose, down the throat and into his lungs. They didn't find anything physically that they could surgically repair to stop the aspirating. Its good I guess, no surgery but I was really hoping that a trachea would be slightly larger than the other or something so they could do the surgery and this would be all over. But thats not the case. We will have medical bills forever=no money ever. Davin did awesome. When we woke up after the procedure, it wasn't good. He was crazy. They had a specific word for it but basically, he woke up before the meds for him to out of it really wore off so he felt weird, couldn't really control himself or think and he just screamed for like half an hour. He pretty much tore out his iv and had a panic attack. The only thing that calmed him down finally was taking the iv out, getting him out of the hospital gown and dressed his clothes. He's been in a hospital enough that he knows this means he's finally going home. How sad.
The last thing to eat the night before:a cupcake
Daddy and Davin ready to go!
Phoenix Children's Hospital is so stinkin smart. Yes, it is an old hospital but they have toys everywhere! Waiting for the op room was a lot easier with 10 kids movies to choose from and a huge playroom for just Davin and 2 other kids.
After being released, life got a lot better when the lady at Chase Bank gave Davin a sucker

I'm glad he's doing well after that. Max goes in for surgery on Friday and we get to go through all of that!
