Yesterday, we arrived at St. Luke's hospital bright and early for Tye's procedure. Our doctor had one surgery before Tye's which went much longer than scheduled so we spent a couple hours in the pre-op area. Thank goodness for a great play area that was donated by our friends, Beth and Adam, who have a foundation in memory of their son, AJ. When Dr. Beck was just about ready for Tye he was given a concoction of pain medicine and sedative, orally. He began to act completely goofy! Bob and I could not help but laugh at him. After they took him he was put to sleep with a gas mask then an IV was started followed by the surgery.
We saw Tye about an hour later in a room on the pediatric floor. Other than having many wires hooked up to him enabling him from walking around he did very well.
We should have results to the biopsies next week. The only result they had right away was from what they could see visually. There was swelling around the vocal cords that is abnormal. Debris was removed in the bronchial tubes that was also abnormal. The tubes were also red and contained white spots. This can all be related to reflux.
