So, our big day turned out to be not so big. We didn't do the swallow test or the surgery. The swallow test has been postponed until next week because the ENTs accidentally scheduled the test for tomorrow morning instead of today. We had decided not to do it tomorrow because we thought he would be intubated for his surgery today and didn't want him to fail because they did the test so soon after him being extubated.
The opthamologist wanted to do an exam in the O.R. while Johnny was sedated and then they could decide what kind of surgery to do or if it needed to be done. Well, the pressure in his eyes are a little bit high but not high enough to need surgery. They think it can be controlled with medicine and eye drops. He may end up needing the surgery down the road but it can wait for now! And the best news is that he didn't need to be intubated! Yay!
Now we just wait until we can do the swallow test. This is now the only thing keeping Johnny in the hospital! Hopefully they can do it either tomorrow or next week sometime! Man, this emotional roller coaster is wearing me out! It's so back and forth everyday, one second everything's good and the next it's bad, etc., etc., etc. Anyone have any tips for stress relief?? Cause I sure need it!
