It's been a few weeks (maybe a month?) since Grace's bronchoscopy, and while she got very sick and sounded terrible after the last one, we've seen great results! Grace is now able to run around like any normal 2 year old without getting tired! And she can run run run for HOURS without getting tired or even wanting a nap...not exactly the result I wanted :) So it's been pretty great to see what a big difference removing the cyst has made!
She's been getting steroids through an inhaler to reduce the inflammation in her vocal cords. Next will be another bronchoscopy this coming Thursday to understand what is going on with her vocal cords. Since Grace had a cold last time, the ENT wasn't sure if they were red and swollen due to that, or allergies, or something else. So we could definitely use prayer for Grace to stay HEALTHY this week! The ENT will also be checking to make sure the cyst isn't growing back at all.
Grace had a really hard time coming out of the anesthesia last time, and she was in pain to the point she needed morphine. I'm glad I know what to expect this time, but am hoping she will not have as hard of a time with it. Looking forward to getting some answers and a plan for her vocal cords-she's such a smart, fun, creative little girl, and I just really want for Grace to be able to express herself vocally more than she can.
