Monday, July 27, 2009 8:16:14 AMWe talked with the surgeons at Children's Mercy yesterday. The CCAM has been confirmed in the lower lobe of her right lung. At this time the CCAM will have to be removed by surgery. Lydia is stable and doing extremely well with the nasal cannula and if she can do well without the nasal cannula, she will be able to go home in a couple of days. The goal is to have the surgery when she is 4 months old so she is able to better handle anesthesia. The surgeons will first attempt to remove it thoracoscopically; if not they are not able to do it that way, they will make an incision in the side of her chest and remove it.
We are very happy with this news!!! We pray that she can do well without the nasal cannula and be able to go home in a few days, and that we can hold off the surgery until she is 4 months old.
