Dashiell's Surgery
So this morning we head back down to Columbia/NY Presbyterian in Manhattan for the second catheter procedure to fix Dashiell's heart murmur. This time around they know what the shunt looks like, and have the proper plug approved to be able to fix it, so I don't anticipate any problems. And the surgery probably won't take as long as last time around as they don't have to keep fiddling with different potential solutions.
Even so, it's going to be a dull day at the hospital. First we get to wait a couple of hours in the waiting room, and then a couple in the recovery room before he gets moved up to his own room. Waiting room seats are never that comfortable, which sucks.
We'll be staying overnight, as there's a place in the room for PreZ and I to crash out too.
For those that have the numbers, we will be availible on our cell phones. If there's no response it might be because we have to turn them off in certain parts of the hospital... or I might have turned mine off because I finally have the oppertunity to sleep (properly) for the first time in days. I'm currently running on about a dozen hours for the last 3 days I think, if that.
We'll be home again, and near an internet connection, sometime Wednesday afternoon.
Anyway, off to get ready and pack a few things in an overnight bag... pjs, snacks, a book, diapers, change of clothes etc.
