An Arytenoidectomy is a permanent and irreversible surgical procedure whereby the laryngeal inlet is widened in its transverse axis, providing a larger airway for respiration.
A Microlaryngoscopy and Bronchoscopy (MLB) is a test that allows the doctor to look into Baby Sister’s airway (larynx and bronchi) using a small tele
scope. This telescope is contained in a piece of equipment called an endoscope.
A Thymectomy is surgery to remove the Thymus gland. This gland is located in the upper portion of the chest, behind the sternum (breastbone). The Thymus gland helps control immune cell growth. It is usually very active when you are an infant, but its function tapers off as you get older.

We are prayerful that these procedures will give Baby Sister some medical relief and allow her to live a more normal and healthy life.
