Andrew's vacation

My poor little Andrew got really sick while we were on vacation and ended up spending most of it in the hospital. He had really bad croup and no matter what we tried he couldn't breath. So he ended up in the ICU at the children's hospital for a few days so they could give him breathing treatments every hour and steroids every six hours. The day before we left they scoped his throat and to check and see if he had some sort of blockage or something. They found what they thought was that his vocal chords have some extra flesh and when they get inflamed then it blocks his airway off 90%. So the doctor there recommended he have some surgery to fix that. But we couldn't do it there because they have to wait for the swelling to go down. So since we have been home we have seen a doctor in Salt Lake and he wants to rescope him to look again while he is healthy and see if it looks as bad. They are also going to test him for reflux because that can also cause swelling and inflammation and could be compounding the problem. So we will see what they find out at the end on the month. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he won't need to have surgery after all.

Maybe we will have to take him to Lagoon this summer to make up for this crappy vacation.
