Sundays in a hospital are usuallyquiet and uneventful. Today was no exception. Jereth and I spent a quiet day with no new tests or procedures done.
Tomorrow he is scheduled to have a scope of his airways down to his lungs and possibly a simple laser surgical procedure to repair his larynx if the scope shows the procedure is warranted. He will also have a swallow study, where he will drink a mixture containing barium, a radioactive element, and x-rays will be used to see what happens when he swallows.
The nurse talked like he will be sent home (without the heart surgery) as soon as they can figure out what is going on with his airways and he can be weaned off the high-flow air.
