Default Wish us luck

We are flying out tomorrow for Virginia for our 6 month scope. Colin will see his doctors in clinic on Thursday and the scope for Friday morning. Then back on the plane. I can't help but feeling a little hopeful that his airway has grown. He is speaking so well past his trach and getting enough air out of his mouth to blow bubbles. But, as usual my stomach is upset and not sleeping very well due to the fear of they will find something else wrong.
Please keep us in your prayers. We will post as soon as we get back to Texas.
Nicole
