I thought I would like to know that Joseph had to be re-admitted to Primary Children's Hospital on Thursday afternoon. At 3pm on Thursday Joseph was unable to breath, long enough for him to turn blue (we estimate it was something like 30-60 seconds). After reviving him, he got an ambulance ride to PCH. He had surgery to remove mucous that had accumulated where the original cyst was. The doctor also trimmed the left arytenoid (near the top of his larynx) as well since it was floppy. It was the combination of the swollen cyst area and the floppy arytenoid that blocked his airway.
His surgery was Friday morning and since then he has been doing well and the wheezing (strider) that we are used to hearing had decreased.
He has spent 2 days in the PICU and is likely to spend a day or two day on the Pediatric Floor, recovering and determining if he needs to come home with oxygen.
We greatly appreciate your love, thoughts and prayers.
Jason and Kristine
