2/3

We were admitted to Children's Hospital today at noon. Within a few hours of being there we had a chest X-ray, viral test, swallow study, and met with Dr. Jennings. When we first met Dr. Jennings he said 'Peyton is cute, but he has a bad airway.' It didn't take long for Chris and I to feel very comfortable with Dr. Jennings. He took time to talk through his process, show us results of the tests we did today and assure us that this is fixable and he does it day in and day out. As of now we have CT scan, and bronchoscope scheduled for this week. The aortopexy surgery is scheduled for Friday if all goes as planned. Dr. Jennings is working on a plan of attack for Peyton's surgery and would only move it if he feels rushed which is reassuring. This by no means is a minor procedure but Chris and I have full confidence in Dr. Jennings and his staff. I will update as we find out more. Until then, I am going to do some work and try to get some rest.
