The Deed is Done - March 19, 2009

We are home! Everything went extremely well this morning. The initial scope in my throat was to be done without provocation of aspergillus. The 2nd scope in my throat was to be done with provocation of aspergillus to see exactly what muscles and/or vocal cords were involved in closing off my airway. Since nothing seems to go as planned, it didn't! The doctor was able to see what was engaging in my throat through a series of tests without provocation. He felt the risk would not add enough information to change our course of action. So the great news is that I didn't have to stop breathing! The next step is to address the vocal cord/muscles in my throat. The goal from this is simple: Since we can't avoid anaphylaxis, we are hoping to keep a small airway open.

Another bit of confirmed good news is that my body is healing. Yes, it is actually healing. My bone marrow has quit overproducing, and I am very stable. It's gooooooooood. Mega answered prayer!
