Jan. 1, 2008 - Trachea Surgery for Ideopathic Tracheal Stenosis -- Cricordotomy scheduled...
The surgery I am scheduled (again) for is a Cricordotomy; which involves removing the tissue causing the problem in my trachea, vertical splitting of the trachea; stretching it with a t-tube, ( a newer kind of trach tube, which will be corked) and letting it heal/finish scarring over time before removing the t-tube. The surgery my doctor described the last time I saw him was a tracheal fissure -- which is everything except the splitting of the trachea part. So, I am not sure which will happen, it depends on what they find when they go in. This same surgery was scheduled last May; and changed to something else while I was in surgery. So, I am not really sure what to expect.
My surgery is this Friday; and we arrive home from vacation tomorrow (Wednesday) and pick up my MIL in the evening. My husband and I will then head back to the wonderful hotel we stayed in last time on Thursday night; for what will likely be an early report time (I haven't heard for sure yet the time).
I am looking into natural methods to improve the success of the surgery; so if you know of herbs etc. that help with limiting scar tissue, healing tissue etc that would be of help. I think I am definitely ordering Juice Plus as a starting point.
I will be praying for you, dear friend! I will pray for God's wisdom and hands to be with the surgeons and all those assisting! I pray that you have a very happy and healthy New Year and that God blesses you beyond measure!
I take Juice Plus. Excellent product. You may want to look into Mona Vie...It's 19 fruits in a bottle with the acai berry as the main component. It's awesome! Check it out at

That's my hubby. My eyesight improved on it and I'm nearly 40 and pregnant for the 7th (plus) time. It wowed me.
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
