We've been doing all the necessary junk for surgery this week. Rescheduling nursing hours, his 3 therapies (and delaying his new one!) trying to figure out the pre surgery blood work (which isn't as easy as normal on a monday morning surgery!). We got his last round of blood work in a super short time span, so now we're waiting to hear the official word from the hematologist. Is IGG is on the outs again, and the question is whether it's too much on the outs that it needs replaced before surgery ( T minus 15 days and counting). The other million dollar question is if we can do it here locally, and save ourselves a trip. As far as I know they would let us if it's possible,since I don't think they need us down for anything else. (Please note the "as far as I know" and "I think").
We had planned on suprising my mother in law with a little mini trip to Brown County for her birthday which is coming up soon. The trip was going to be in October, but we rescheduled it when we found out his surgery was in October... which of course it's not anymore. And, of course, we rescheduled it for the weekend before surgery. So, nuts to everyone, we're going anyway. I figure we'll be half way down there, and already packed. God bless the washing machines available to us in Cincinnati. We'll be in Brown County the Friday, Saturday and Sunday before surgery. Works like a charm, minus all the exposure to germs and such. At least it's summer, right?
We've been packing in the fun the last week or two before we try to keep him somewhat away from germs. We went to the neighbors last night for movie night. They have acquired chickens since then and boy.. those chickens are just great. They are funny and entertaining and just plain great as you can see from this picture. But the goats, oh the goats are so giggle-worthy. He gets the biggest kick out of them. Who needs the zoo when you have a farm next door?
(That took days to post, blogger was having a hissy fit!) 13 days til surgery!
