Thank you Christine and Paul. It is comforting to hear back from caring forum members.

I have already alerted all the MDs involved to Bob's history. I will make certain that we have a comprehensive evaluation by the anesthesia department and not just a cursory exam. I forgot about possibility of nasal intubation.

I will wait and see what plan is suggested before I panic. It's easy to overreact when you've been through so much, things are stable, and you are trying to avoid another set of complications...

Happy New Year,
Lottie
