Kennedy did great yesterday with her nose surgery! Two stents were placed in her nose that she will keep for 4 to 6 weeks! We have kept her on some good drugs so that she is comfortable! They are saying that we will be able to go home tomorrow which we are very excited about. The next few weeks will be full of check up appts where we will be hopefully trying different covers to go over Kennedy trach to get her ready for taking that trach out. When they take the stents out is when Keni is at risk for her nose growing back together . Everyone keep your fingers crossed that it does not happen. ENT plans on going back in when they take the stents out and cleaning up in the nose area and hopefully that will help as well. The chance that it could grow back really depends on the pt's and how their bodies make scar tissue. ~~ On another note they also did her hearing test again where they confirmed that she does not have very good hearing in her left ear but she has very good hearing in her right ear and thankfully for communcation you only need ONE good ear. They do not plan on placing her bad ear with hearing aids because they say it will be more harm than good in her hearing ability. So after all that kennedy did a great job, she is healing nicely, and hopefully this time tomorrow will we be home and cuddling with Joselain and me!!
