Yuck.

So far, the only day our surgeon has open THIS YEAR is December 16th. We took it, but nervously. Mr. Micah, as we all know, is the king of pulling stunts. And of course, with LM you don't know what you're going to find until you get in there. The doc has a few things in mind, but won't know for sure til he gets in. He thinks it'll be a 2-3 day max stay, so we should be okay if it's double that (which we've been known to you). Looks like potentially tonsils and adenoids, coblation (a way to remove LM tissue) on the base of his tongue (the back part) and a scope. There's so much to do, it's a veritable laundry list of things that need done in there. We usually just sign off for all sorts of things, and they'll call out with what they want to do when they know.

Not sure what the plan is between then and now, (7 weeks, 2 days). I assume we'll be down there for IVIG at least once between now and then. In theory we shouldn't be having the catastrophic drops because he's not draining. It would be super to only have to make one trip in the next two months... I can't even imagine! That being said, I'm not getting my hopes up.
