Pending Procedure
So I just got the details from the hospital about Dashiell's procedure tomorrow.
We have to be there at 7am (argh! it's at Columbia in Manhattan, so at least a 30-45 minute drive seeing as traffic once we get onto Manhattan is always slow), no more milk after 1am, clear fluids (water, pedialyte or apple juice) until 5am, after that nothing else. He should be on the table by 8am.
This is going to be a nightmare, seeing as he feeds pretty often still. I need to go pick up some pedialyte, because of the three choices I think it's going to be nutritionally better than apple juice (and hopefully not as sugary), and at least offer something as opposed to just water.
Apparantly the overnight facilities, which is a pull-out couch or something, can sleep two, though it's a tight fit. So PreZ can come along too which is nice.
Depending on what tests etc. they want to run Thursday morning, we should be out of there by noon or so.
Tonight's going to be a real fun night o.O
