Bronchoscopy |
The bronchoscopy and Upper GI scope both went relatively well. They decided to add a feeding tube to the equation as his failure to thrive recently is just as concerning as his pulmonary issues.
Both surgeons took sample tissue from their scopes for additional testing. The GI surgeon said that the passageway from Sam's stomach to upper intestine was smaller than he expected, which may be contributing to his diminished appetite and failure to grow.
We should be getting some definitive results from the tests on Friday. They did not have to put him in the ICU, rather he is in the Intermediate Care Unit (IMC) with a dedicated nurse for the time being.
