We've been trying to schedule a CT scan and an ENT surgery for a year now. COVID and pneumonia have gotten in the way four times. Yesterday it was go for launch.
CT scan complete, that's for cardio and pulmonology to use. A heart echo only tells us so much and the chest x ray only tells us so much. CT scans are super neat to look at because it's basically a cross section layer by layer scan of her body. We will be able to see the impacts of repeat pneumonias on her lungs, not cool. We will be able to see how her original aortic arch repairs are affecting her trachea.
The ENT procedure was for a new set of T tube ear tubes and an endoscopy. That showed her adenoids are doing all right with no further growth, but her inferior turbinates needed to be reduced. Eardrops for a week, some saline gel in her nose for 3 weeks. All good!
