We had to go for her pre-op last Friday and the anesthesiologist who came and talked to us said that she would be "completely sedated" - he said they use a gas and then an IV - so I'm not sure what that means, maybe you know. And when he was telling us about risks, he mentioned her being sore from the breathing tube. So I don't know. What you said makes total sense. I feel so ignorant about pretty much everything medical....Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319187009235224171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505095119232307325.post-84602914078446853232008-10-16T22:44:00.000-05:002008-10-16T22:44:00.000-05:00I will be thinking about you and Brooklyn tomorrow...I will be thinking about you and Brooklyn tomorrow.....please update ASAP.<BR/>I just wanted to help ease your mind a little...I am an RN and have assisted with both endoscopies and bronchoscopies...<BR/>First of all Dr Gasshole should never have put the "rare" complications to you the way he did...Drs are obligated to tell you the worst case scenario BUT those things so rarely happen. It's not impossible but it's highly unlikely. Both procedures are relatively quick so she should be in and out fast. She should not have a breathing tube.....keep in mind both scopes go down the same area where they would place a breathing tube. The bronch scope would have to go down the same "pipe" her trachea so there would not be any room for a breathing tube. They will likely use conscious sedation...she will be asleep but not put under...so there are alot less risks associated and she will be awake and ready to go sooner than if they put her under general anesthesia. I know you are going to worry regardless of what I tell you..it's only natural. But it will be nice to have this all over with and hopefully an answer tomorrow.......take care and good luck......samedie & ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16263126306535576474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505095119232307325.post-43097625242793258042008-10-16T20:56:00.000-05:002008-10-16T20:56:00.000-05:00Thinking of you!

The worst part is them being groggy/grumpy from the meds. Try to stay positive. This time tomorrow it will be over and you will know what is or isn't wrong with Brooklyn. Both of those are great news. If you get really nervous tomorrow, you can text or call me. (just email me for my number). Isn't she being admitted for the night?Hopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08185169858979564182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505095119232307325.post-30079088381506069282008-10-16T16:11:00.000-05:002008-10-16T16:11:00.000-05:00Prayers from St. Louis to Brooklyn, Daddy and You!...Prayers from St. Louis to Brooklyn, Daddy and You! <BR/><BR/>Claire says to tell Brooklyn not to be scared...the nurses in the PICU and NICU are like angels that keep them safe when you're not there...( :Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543654519800360314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7505095119232307325.post-15042306512731369682008-10-16T14:03:00.000-05:002008-10-16T14:03:00.000-05:00Oh my friend, HUGS!!!
