Brett's Procedure

Brett's procedure was completely successfully. During his bronchoscopy, they saw that his airways are clear and there is actually less inflammation than there usually is. (I think this was his 5th bronch.) There were hardly any thick secretions! This was GREAT news. They did culture one spot on each lung to see if any pseudomonas grows. We'll know about that next week.

Additionally, Brett got his port-a-cath!! We are super excited about it. I wasn't really counting on it, but Brett's surgeon is amazing, and he got it done. This is going to be so much better for Brett.

  2. Yay! I'm so happy for ya'll! And if Brett's port is anything like Dad's, it will be such a blessing! Dad has loved having one so they don't ever have to find veins... with a little one, I can only imagine what a blessing this will be!
