On the Calendar

I'm just now getting a minute to write an update but we officially have a date for Ava's bronchoscopy and possible decanulation.  We got a call from the ENT clinic at Children's Mercy on Monday letting us know that we needed to go for "Pre-Admission Testing" on Wednesday (yesterday) and that her procedure would be next Thursday, October 11th.  Not exactly the advanced notice we were hoping for but needless to say we are really happy to have it on the calendar.  So yesterday we went to sign paperwork, have Ava checked out, answer a bunch of health history questions, etc....A process that is required before scheduled procedures/surgeries with anesthetic.  Things went fine and now we are trying to be patient, washing hands more, praying, and trying to imagine what life will be like without a trach.  The last 22 months (roughly) have been wonderful even with all the ups and downs with Ava and Reese and now assuming it is in God's plan, our family will experience a major "up"!  Please pray for Ava to remain healthy and for her procedure to go as planned uneventfully.  Thank you all so much!
