Visit to the ENT

About a week ago Charles and I noticed a lump of skin growing underneath Bryant's trach. It was small but by the weekend it doubled in size, so we had a nurse come over and look at it. She said it was granulation tissue and that it was very common. The body is trying to close up the hole because it is not normal. She said that they would burn the skin off with a nitrous stick. I called the ENT first thing Monday morning and they were able to see us early Tuesday. It was awful when they burned it off and the spot looks horrible. Poor thing can't make any noise but those tears were streaming down his face and he was blood red. We will be going back every 2 weeks for awhile so he can continue to burn the spot off.
