ENT Follow-up
While I was in Oakland for a conference, my Mom and Mike went with Reagan for her ENT follow-up. The scope revealed no changes in the state of her laryngomalacia, meaning that it's not worse but it's not improving, either. The bumps of extra tissue along her esophagus were visible. The doctor mentioned that these could be shaved off, but that he didn't know if the surgery would actually help her or not, so it isn't worth doing. He did request that we schedule another sleep study, which will occur on December 19. We're all very much hoping that this will show a reduction in the number of disruptive events she has per hour (our previous number was 37 per hour, which is severe).
