All Clear

How could i not have blogged about this already? Im amazed at how quickly time is passing these days, is the end of pregnancy not suppose to drag?

Yesterday was Rebecca’s hospital check up, she was taken in the morning and put under anesthetic again . The done whats know as a MLB and applied Mitomycin C to stop scar tissue forming.
We spent the afternoon is the hospital but thankfully she was sent home in the evening.

Doctor K was very happy with how she is healing, as he explained it before the surgery in June her airway was about 1/4 the size of what you would expect. Its now about half the size , he doesn’t feel he is going to be able to get it any better and for the moment nothing else can or will be done (which is good news, Rebecca may never be able to scream across a crowded room or become an opera singer but she will be able to live a perfectly normal and happy life) .
She will go back in a few months to see him in the airway clinic and i imagine a few appointments will follow in the future but as long as there not surgical we can all deal. She will also more than likely need some specialist speech therapy help but for the moment nothing will be done till her body gets time to heal and repair.

It looks like we are able to close the chapter of our lives now, its been a horrible and difficult time but with the support of my family and friends (and yes i mean all you guys , i count you all as friends and your support has meant everything to me these past weeks) we have got through it. Now we have nothing but good to look forward to – our son is due in just over 2 weeks , Rebecca is loving nursery and Eilidh will be starting playgroup herself soon. There is nothing but wonderful times ahead for my family.
