Surgery #6 - Laryngoscopy

Wow, is it only #6?!? It seems like we should have about 10 under our belts by now. :)
Tomorrow, July 22, Cicily will have another laryngoscopy to evaluate her airway. This is a "no big deal" surgery. Dr. Mancuso (ENT) will take a camera on a thin cable and put it down her trach hole and also through her mouth into her trachea. This will allow him to see how open her airway is now. Hopefully he can give us an idea of how many more mms we need to distract Cicily's jaw for her to able to breath without a trach.
