So tomorrow is the big day. We have to be in Boston for 7:45 am. I don't know what time his surgery is at but I do know he can't have anything to eat after midnight! Fun ride to Boston that oughtta be.
For those who don't know, Bryce is going in for a few minor procedures tomorrow but because of his lungs and his heart its a bit more dangerous for him than the average kid.
We went to Mass Eye and Ear last week and met with some great doctors. We were there ALL day but it was worth it. They are doing the following tomorrow:
ENT doc - Tubes in ears, possible adenoidectomy, Bronchoscopy (for his strider & Laryngomalacia))
GI - Endoscopy (to be sure his severe reflux isn't affecting his airway)
Pulmonary - Echo while he is sedated to measure his pulmonary hypertension and see what is causing his murmur.
Not really sure how long all this will take but I am a little nervous. He only had ROP laser treatment before and was only sedated for that not actually under general so I am worried about how he will do with that..... We will be staying overnight either at MEEI or Mass General depending on how he does in the surgery. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers please.
And yes he finally broke his first tooth through yesterday! Can't really see it yet but you sure can feel it!

Good luck tomorrow. I will keep him in my prayers. Both of you are definitely fighters. It must have been exciting to see him get his first tooth. There will be many more to come.
