Yesterday was Tommy's preop at Children's. We checked in at 12:30 and walked back to the parking lot when all was done at 5:30. Whew! It's hard keeping up with Tommy. We met the anesthesiologist (wonderful ways for Tommy to easily fall asleep for surgery), nurse practicioner (who will teach us how to care for his chest & lift), social worker, and then there were ekg's, chest xrays, and blood draws.
God continues to put amazing people in our lives. Yesterday was no exception. We met a little boy that is just as cool as Tommy. We will call him B (mommy forgot to ask his mom if was ok to mention his real name). B had heart surgery one year ago and his rosey cheeks and sweet smile were testimony of the benefits.
Wednesday will be here before we know it!
Grace Unhinged -- A mom's daily ramblings of raising a daughter and three sons. Young adults, twin boys, a farm with goats to chickens, gardening and quilting, work and my sweet husband especially. Taking a day at a time and by the grace of God, we make it thru.
