We got the pathology report back this evening and it is indeed scar tissue! They have started taking him off meds and lowering his O2 today to get ready for the vent coming out in the morning. Now we are praying that he will be able to handle that and that his vocal cord is working now. He did kick his left leg tonight when they tried putting his foot support on. So we know he can at least move that. I will try to update more as things happen.
