Andrew's surgery went very well today. The doctor discovered a granuloma, which is a skin growth that forms around the hole in his throat where the trach is placed. The skin growth had moved into his trachea and was blocking a majority of his airway, so that is why he couldn't breathe naturally. The doctor lasered the growth out, and Andrew is spending the night in the ICU as a precaution. We feel this is the beginning of the end to Andrew having a trach. Praise God.
