Friday's Endoscopy and Bronchoscopy went well. Dr. Jennings was happy with what he saw. He said his airway is not perfect but he thinks that after some close observation we may be able to get by without doing the aortopexy surgery. They are keeping us in the hospital to slowly wean Peyton from his drugs and closely monitor his breathing and eating. We need to come back in 4-6 weeks for another Endoscopy and Bronchoscopy. Since then I caught a GI bug that has been going around and have been down for the count since Friday night. Chris stayed at the hospital with Peyton with my father and brother coming in to relieve him. My brother and Chris now also have the same GI bug. Peyton has not been wanting to eat which is very unlike him. He has had a low grade temperature, is whiny, and has been having loose stool. They sent a sample of his stool down for testing. The team thinks that he also has the GI bug and put another IV in to make sure that he is staying hydrated. I am back at the hospital with him now. Other than that there is not much new to report.
