As I write, Greta is watching a Charlie and Lolavideo (her new fave) and playing with play-dough. She is her sweet and sassy self! Everything went very smoothly this morning. Before she went into the OR her surgeon told us if everything looked good he would down size her trach and then pull it out entirely next week. You can imagine the shock and surprise that plan was to us. We couldn't even speak about it at first for fear that we might both start crying. Anyways, after her procedure the ENT came back in and shared the news that Greta has a small blister of scare tissue just above her trach that he was unable to get at today. In order for her to breathe on her own without the trach this tissue needs to be removed. So we have another bronchoscopy schedule for July 16th and then we can proceed with removing her trach shortly after that. I was a little disappointed that we were going to have to do this again, but because everything went so well this morning, I'm confident it will go smoothly again. In fact when we walked Greta to the OR , her nurse put out her arms to her and she went right to her without any complaints. I was stunned!! I was totally picturing a melt down at that point. What an awesome God that he even sees to Greta's comfort and peace. All the staff were so gentle, kind and considerate.  They really took awesome care of her. Thank you Innovis staff!

So we will be back for another bronchoscopy July 16th. She is downsized to a full size smaller than her old trach and it's going very well. Pray that she continues to do well and avoids infections. Thank you for your prayers!
