Today, December 8, Darth and I took Braden to Children's for all his pre-op appointments. Everything went well, although it was a long day. We spoke with a lot of people, were given more information than we could digest, and spent way too much time in waiting rooms! Overall everything looks really good for the surgery and we feel very confident in the care Braden will be receiving at Children's.
When we met with our surgeon, he informed us that there was to be an emergency heart transplant this evening, and since it would be a late night for him, surgery would be postponed to Friday, December 12. He told us we would not want him doing surgery on our son with too little sleep. We agreed!
We had mixed feelings with the change in surgery dates, glad to have more time with Braden, sorry to not be getting on with the surgery and recovery, but also realizing that someone has lost a child. There is also a family getting a new chance at their child being healthy by getting a transplant. Please pray for the families involved with that. We of course don't know any names or specific circumstances, but it will be a difficult time for both families. Our hearts and prayers are with them.
We are looking at this time, waiting till surgery, as a blessing. Hopefully we can catch up on sleep and really focus on getting Braden's weight up.
We love and appreciate all our wonderful supportive extended family!
