Breathing getting tight again

Up and down, up and down, up and down. That is how our life has been for the last 7 months. We get excited because he sounds so good, you can't even hear him. Then the next day his breathing is so loud you wonder, is it time to go back to the hospital? We are down right now. He only has one more week until his surgery, and his breathing is so tight. It sounds pretty good when he is resting/sleeping, so that is the only thing keeping us from going. We have our bags packed in case we have to rush up there again. I'm about to call Dr. Woolley's nurse and ask if there is anyting we can do. Maybe get back on steroids for the next week? We don't know if he needs to be off of them for the surgery though. We took him outside in the cool air yesterday and that seemed to help. We are going to do that again today and keep the house cooler for him. I'll post again after I talk to the nurse.

Bryce is oblivious to all this though! He is so busy and wild sometimes you wonder how he can do all these things with such a small airway! He is a little piglet, always acting hungry and sleeping more than normal so we are sure he is going through a growth spurt. I can't wait to get him on a scale at the hospital and see how much weight he has gained. I feel certain he will be back on the charts, maybe even in the 10-25 percentile!!!
