So yesterday we had pre-admit. It went ok I guess. They went through all in the ins and outs of surgery day...but when we had our meeting with the anesthesiologist she listened to Benjamin and started questionning his asthma diagnosis. She said that there should have been a time when Benjamin was symptom free since he is on a strong inhaler...but Benjamin has been wheezy since January. After listening to him she is starting to think he has something called subglottic stenosis. This is the narrowing of the airway below the vocal cords, which would be caused from repeat intubations. So the sounds we hear could actually be a stridor. This complicates things more. They will have to be very careful when they intubate him on Thursday..they will used a very small tube. The doctors are now arranging for and ENT doctor to come take a look at Benjamin while his intubated to see what's going on. This will probably land him in intensive care...which I hate, but I know is the best place for him..to be monitored closely. If its diagnosed Thursday then obviously it will rule out asthma and we can take him off those meds... There are different grades of subglottic stenosis, so we'll have to see what the coarse of action would be. It is something he could outgrow if it a mild case... We need lots of prayers...just when we think one door is closing another one opens. We need prayers for Benjamin's health through this, but we also need prayers for strength for Jon and I...It is so scarey, trying, exhausting... I'll update as soon as I can on Thursday!
