Daddy's A Little Upset

So we woke up at 4:45 this morning to get to CHOC in Orange before 6:00 for a scheduled 7:30 bronch and Upper GI study for Emma. We arrived at 5:45 and proceeded to the short stay unit. At 7:30, the GI Doctor was there to look at her stomach and esophagus, but the pulminologist was no where to be found. The first part was going to take 30 minutes, so we hoped that he would be there before the first doctor finished. Well, at around 10:30 we received word that the doctor needed to reschedule. Needless to say, I was more than a little upset. After we were discharged we stopped by the pulmonologist's office and asked to see him. He was sorry for the mix up and asked when it would be good to reschedule. As I had taken 2 days of vacation in anticipation of Emma possibly coming off the trach, I asked if it would be at all possible to reschedule tomorrow. He graciously agreed to reschedule tomorrow morning at 8:30 on his day off. It is a bummer that we have to do this 2 days in a row, but I am happy that we will at least get the chance to see if Emma is ready to be taken off the trach. Please be in prayer again tomorrow as we have Emma's bronch.
