Yes, we finally have news of improvement. Yesterday Jordan had his scope to check on his airway and Doctor said he saw improvement in his airway. It seemed less floppy in the upper airway. He wants to start the process of downsizing his trach which could eventually lead to decannulation. Don't want to jump the gun & get any hopes up because it is a long process which may have setbacks, but at least we are moving in the right direction even if for a little bit. The plan is to slowly downsize his trach and monitor him to how well he tolerates it. I love the idea of not needing all the medical equipment & supplies & all that goes with it. But also am nervous because his airway is stable & secure with the trach & he breaths clear & easy. Also his trach is what qualifies him for nurses. What ever is best for Jordan & what ever God feels Jordan needs is what I want right now because there are pluses & minuses to both sides.
Other than that awesome news, all is well. Jordan did great during his procedure & recovered fantastic. He is anxiously awaiting next Wednesday because he goes back to school then. He loves his school & friends & teachers. He is always happy & smiley when we talk about it. We are counting down the days here.
