I just started a 5am feeding...and thought I'd take a quick minute to tell how our Thursday went. First of all...Mom and Abby flew in Thursday afternoon. Yippie! I even made mom an instruction manual of what and when to do with the big boys (they are creatures of habit). You know....the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches have to be cut a certain way or they just aren't edible! Joe and I stayed up ALL night packing for this trip. We left the house for the airport (with Eli and Isaac) about 4:30am on Friday. We got there only to realize that we left Isaac's feeding pump! So, Joe grabbed a cab, got the pump, and made it back in time! Whew... The flight was a little over an hour and Isaac and Eli slept the whole time. Once we landed, I called mom to tell her...and she told me that I left a charger in the kitchen. Well...that turned out to be the FEEDING PUMP charger! YIKES! I spent all day trying to get someone to bring us one...and finally at 7pm a local office here in Palo Alto came to the rescue....and Isaac never missed a feed.
One thing to note....the last 2 days...he's only had 1 wretching episode each day. Maybe it's the new drug, the fact that he's just on my milk now...or he did just recieve a blessing...maybe it's all these things along with eveyone's prayers...I'm SO EXCITED...that's all I've been worrying about. Not the surgery...but, how hard his recovery will be if he's choking and throwing up all day.
Yesterday we had our pre=op appointments at Stanford. Everything looks good. Dr. Perry will be doing the heart cath on Monday (we LOVE him...he did the last one). They're not sure if he'll need to stay the night Monday night or Tuesday night...so, I am to bring a suitcase just in case. They aren't sure yet which case he'll be on Wednesday...I SO hope it's the first case. He's doing SO good. Everyone remembers us...that could be good or bad (depending on how we were acting that day). We're taking Eli to build a bear workshop today to make a bear for Isaac (because, he told me that's where best friends are made)...he watches too much television! Everyone is SNOOZING...so, I'm off too.
So...the heart cath is scheduled for 8am on Monday and the Surgery is still on for Wednesday! We just get to have fun this weekend!!!
