Day 204: Tuesday 13/11/2012
Today the dilation balloon rod, which has been inside Sergio esophagus for some time, will be removed by the surgical team. They will then proceed to do a scope of the entire esophagus. Afterwards the surgeon reported back that the structure of the esophagus looked great even though there appeared to be some superficial irritation to the walls of the esophagus which was caused by the rod placement. He is confident that this will heal in no time at all. Hoy el balon para hacer dilataciones que ha estado dentro del esofago de Sergio algun tiempo...

After an early bath and dressing change of peg site, Sergio was all set for going for a spin in his go-kart. The sun outside was in full glory so we took full advantage and headed out to the garden and playground.

Since he is free of the ventilator, we are more mobile in terms of hauling less equipment around with us when going for spins in the ward on his trendy go-kart. Sergio loves it when he’s out and about saying hello to all the many nurses and doctors who have gotten to...

Sergio has come on leaps and bounds over the last few weeks. He is tolerating his trachea collar very well and with each passing day, he is doing extended sprints on it. It appears that he is able to mobilize his secretions on his own which means that he is able to swallow. The daily dilations and x-rays at his bedside are still ongoing and have become more stabilized. He really loves his new high chair as he finds it easier to sit up and play with his toys that are laid out on the tray in front of him. It’s truly amazing to see Sergio...
