Exclamation Jordan had ENT appointment

Well guys yesterdays appointment was the important one. Jordan will be having surgery not sure when. Her ent looked at her cords and there still not opening up all the way when she gets mad. So her ENT will do the laser surgery on the back of Jordan's cord. It will be just on one side and a very small amount will be cut away. First she will see if there is any tissue growing araound the trach before the "actual" surgery even starts. Then Jordan will be in the hospital however long she needs to be. Her in ENT won't let her out till she is back to herself. From what I can remember she will get the trach out w/ this surgery. So yeah I'm happy, but scared as ........... .I also have to get this set up for my other kids as well and chris may be w/ me for the first wk, but who knows. We are going to try and schedual it asap, but we'll find out what they have open. I will give u a date when we get a date set.


Thanks for reading.
