Overwhelmed with being overwhelmed
Met with the ENT resident, who tried to answer most of our questions about the trach. Some he wasn't able to answer, like how long Chase would need the trach, but he thought months to probably years. Hopefully his nasal passage will grow enough, otherwise there may be reconstructive surgery when he's much older. He's scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon, but we still need to meet with the head surgeon tomorrow. He said the surgery will only take about 30 min. Chase will be under anesthesia. They don't think there are any other alternatives at this point. I hate the thought of him having to go through surgery at 6 weeks old, but I know he can't continue to struggle for every breath. So much to think about...overwhelmed with being overwhelmed.On a lighter note, my co-workers thru a baby shower for Chase and I today. It was great, and we got much needed things. They've been so supportive and thoughtful!! Chris and I have recieved so much support from so many people!! We're so thankful and humbled, and don't know what we would do without all of the thoughts and prayers!!

Katie and Chris,
We will keep Chase in our prayers today as he goes through surgery. He sounds like such a strong little guy and we know he'll do well! Our hearts go out to you as we recall a very similar journey with our son, Brett.
Stay strong and take care!

Katie Lady-
He is a very beautiful boy. He has overcome incredible odds and will continue to do so. My family thoughts and prayers are with you always. If you need anything I am always here for you. If he wants to suck his thumb make sure he has a blankie to hold on to.
Love,
Casey Hann & The Austin's
