Headed to Cincinnati Tuesday

Well, here we are...its time to head to Cincinnati. Surgery is scheduled for 11:50 ET on Wednesday, December 9th. After several phone calls, we decided that it was best to try to get this surgery/evaluation done despite the fact that Carson is not 100%. He feels and acts fine but he has a runny nose and drainage. I did take him to see his pediatrician this morning and Dr. Cory felt it was fine to go forward, there is no lower airway involvement. I am praying that all goes well and that this is the best decision. I WOULD like to have this step out of the way so we can continue on with all the wonderful Christmas festivities.

The boys had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are totally in on all the Christmas preparation. They helped me get all the decorations out and we finally got our tree yesterday and decorated it last night. They had a ball and we only lost one ornament ; ) Their excitement makes the holidays that much better.

Thank you for the many prayers and positive thoughts! Oh, this surgery should be fairly quick...they are planning to do a bronchoscopy with a balloon dilation (the dilation just involves inflating a balloon inside his airway to break any scar tissue, leave it for a few minutes, and then deflate and remove it).
