We had our first appointment today, a consult with anesthia. The Dr today just discussed with us Elizabeth's condition and made sure they knew all her meds and issues from the past. She did tell us they may have to intubate her (put her on ventilator) during the CT scan tomorrow so that they can control her breathing to get better pictures of her lungs, but we wont know if they plan to do it or not till tomorrow when we meet with radiology. Another issue that we discussed today was that Elizabeth can't have anything other than clear liquids after like 6AM, but since everything she drinks has to be thickened she cant even have clear liquids. Her CT Scan/Echo isnt scheduled until 1pm but we will be going in at 830 AM for her to get a IV for fluids since she wont be able to have anything by mouth. I am very nervous about the sedation and now even more scared because of the ventilator and the issues she had in the past. I am hoping for the best and that the Doctors make the best decision with regards to her safety. I will try to update throughout the day tomorrow we will pretty much be there all day.
Thanks again to everyone for thoughts, prayers, and help!!
