This Christmas was a little crazy with Blakes finals, my work being sooo busy
for the holidays and also one other surprise!! Blake and I had planned on going to Cali with his family for Christmas but a few days before we were suppose to leave we found out that Blake had to have surgery on the 23rd. So our plans changed and we spent Christmas in St. George with my family. We spent the day after Christmas in Vegas Shopping!! My FAVORITE!! It was nice to get away from Provo and spend time together!
This is Blakes Trachea..... The pictures on the left are from his scope. The bottom left picture is how his airway starts out (looking normal) the picture on the top middle
is what it looked like before surgery. As you can see his airway is 90% closed.
We were told he had some mass in his airway that they didn't exactly know what it was. The doctor who did his CT scan told us he thought it was a form of cyoplasm and a small percentage of them are cancerous. We had to wait a week to find out exactly what it was thankfully it was only scar tissue. But i think that was the longest week of our lives!!
This is Blake after surgery! Our doctor went in and was only able to laser out half of the scar tissue. He said when he got in there it was so thick that for healing reasons it's better to do it in smaller sections. We will be going back in January to have it done one more time to hopefully get the rest!
One more thing....I just have to say how thankful and proud i am of Blake. He pulled a 4.0 this semester with 21 credits, kept me going through all the stress of waiting to hear back from doctors and hoping and praying for good news, he makes me laugh everyday and can always put a smile on my face. I am so thankful for a hardworking husband who sets goals and accomplishes them. I'm so glad i get to spend forever with him! I love him sooo much!!
