One More Look

The Jackson Family woke up early this morning and headed out, on the all too familiar path, to Lucille Packard Children's Hospital for yet another scope. 

This is surgery number 24...in case anyone else is counting.

Our MOST FANTASTIC Otolaryngologist wanted to take another look at Mr. Man's trachea since his stoma closure surgery last October.  Once Noah was given his "happy juice" and taken back into surgery, Kc and I barely had enough time to grab some lunch in the cafeteria and head out to the courtyard to eat before our MOST FANTASTIC Otolaryngologist came out to give us the good news.  He felt that Bubs' trachea and vocal chords looked great!  So great, in fact, that he wants to do one final scope...two years from now!

Are you kidding me?!?

Two years?!?

WOW!!!!!

Two whole years!

The second Kc and I walked {ok, I practically ran} into the recovery room and saw Bubs, I had the most vivid flashbacks to Noah's initial trach surgery.  I remember walking into the NICU room and seeing my Little Man like this... 

It's amazing how things that happened so long ago can be brought back so quickly...so vividly...so painfully. 

Bubs has come a l. o. n. g. way over these past three years...thanks in part to the love, support, and prayers from all of you.  This road that we are on continues to have its ups and downs, twists and turns, but through it all, our God has been faithful and our hearts are full.
