Poor guy

Bryant went down for another bronchoscopy to see if his trachea is collapsing. The good news is that it's not collapsing. But of course there is some bad news. During his operation to repair his esophagus a nerve was damaged that controls a vent in the voice box. It actually paralyzed the left vent. I'm not sure of the actual term so I'm using vent. And the reason it's a big deal is that it doesn't close the trachea when it's not breathing so when Bryant eats theres potential food or milk can go down his trachea causing him to choke or go down to his lungs causing pneumonia.

The good news about this is that the nerve can repair itself. But it adds two to three more weeks to our recovery and it will need to be monitored after we leave. So we will be here more than we expected.

His trachea also looks swolen from the breathing tube, so that will go down in time.

Hopefully we can start feeding Bryant through a feeding tube. The more he eats the stronger he will be.
