Sam is still stable. He's not quite as puffy looking, but he has developed a bit of a runny nose. They tested it and he has the beginning of an upper respiratory infection. They are going to start him on some antibiotics, which they were going to do anyway (they do this for all kids the day before surgery). No matter what, they are definitely doing surgery tomorrow AM.
We are supposed to be here by 6am to speak with the surgeon. They will bring him to the OR at 7am and will be cutting by 730. It only takes about 3 hours, and then he will be back in the CICU. It's way too complicated to explain, but with his type of surgery they HAVE to get him off the vent ASAP after surgery, so they will 'wake' him tomorrow...he'll still be pretty heavily drugged up by pain meds. His surgery will take care of this 'tet spell' that sent us here, AND will be the surgery we scheduled for April. We are nervous but happy that this stage will be over soon.
Chris and my dad drove back to Macon for a few hours to pick up some clothes and rescue our dog. He was being taken care of by our great neighbors but they had a trip planned so Relo gets to visit Atlanta for a few days! He'll be staying at the hotel with my parents...I'm sure he isn't too happy about that, and would rather be at our neighbors. Chris's parents are on their way now.
We are headed to church and then to eat. We'll be back to spend some time with Sam tonight before his big day. Pictures are on their way! We FINALLY got our Nikon D60 that we ordered (Chris picked it up while he was in Macon). We had really wanted it way before now...we ordered it over a month ago!!! Dang HH Gregg...
All is well...will update tomorrow after we get Sam in the OR!!
