Eli's ENT visit

Yesterday we headed back to Childrens Hospital in Washington DC to see a pediatric ENT for Eli's recurring croup and breathing problems. Unfortunately the news was not great. He will need to have an endoscopy procedure done on June 25th. At first I was not too worried about it, but as we got further into discussion with the doctor, I started to feel sick to my stomach. Since Eli has a heart condition, he has to be cleared to go under anesthesia by his cardiologist. He also has to be cleared by his pediatrician. The procedure itself is a minor one, but there is also a very slight chance that once the doctor looks at his trachea, he will need to have further extensive surgery. I know the doctor has to tell me worse case scenario, but it brought me back to the Eli that was 5 weeks old and in SVT. The doctor told us at that time that all he would need is a dose of medicine at the hospital and he would be fine. Eli seems to have a way of making the smallest things become ENORMOUS! It was a fluke that Eli ended up going into heart failure, needing to be intubated and sedated, and spent 2 weeks in the Cardiac ICU. He just has a way of falling into the worse case scenario category. Either way, I know Eli is a very strong boy and will be just fine and I also know there is no better place for Eli to be than at Childrens Hospital.
Please just keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
