Jo: Another Bronchoscopy

Jo's breathing improved a few days after the last bronchoscopy during which they tried to expand the airway with an inflatable device.

Yesterday Jo met with 6 doctors at the Ottawa General hospital.  She was very impressed by how professional they were and confident in their treatment of her.  They still don't know what is wrong but they did confirm the biopsy they performed during the last bronchoscopy was benign.

The next one will be under full anesthesia and they will examine the airways to her lungs.  During the last one they saw something unusual in the right airway.  They want to give the airway size time to stabilize so the next one should be late November early December.  This eliminates any possibility of our return to Vero this year unless I have to return to empty a sold boat!
