It was December 4th and when at the eye doctor when I started to struggle with breathing again. So then I made a new appointment for December 5th. Then it was determined that the surgery did not work and they scheduled a second surgery for December 11th. When I got home on December 5th the sister missionaries had brought me flowers.
December 11th day of surgery was at Women's and Children's Hospital and performed by Dr. Nassif.
Then on Sunday December 15th Beatriz Pettus brought us some mexican chicken soup and these beautiful flowers.
I went in for a my follow-up on December 18th and the scarring had already grown back. They put me on 60mg of prednisone for 7 days then 40 for two days and 20 for two days. This got me to December 28th. Then two days later on Monday December 30th I couldn't breathe so Jeff and I ended up in the ER in Florence. They gave me more prednisone and put me back on 60 mg of prednisone until I saw the Doctor on January 2nd. Dr. Nassif took one look at my throat and decided he didn't want to mess around. He is keeping me on 40 mg of prednisone until I can get into the specialist he is referring me to at Vanderbilt Hospital who is Dr. Alex Gebhard. I now have an appointment with him on January 9th at 3:00 pm in Nashville.
