Fisher had a great first Christmas!!! This photo was taken at the Roosters Annual Holiday Food Drive. http://www.roosters.org/
Yesterday we went to Dr Sundine's office in Newport Beach. I feel really confident in his work. He is the plastic surgeon who will be working on Fisher on the 8th. He met with us and checked out Fisher. During the last 3 weeks Fisher had a cold with a fever of 102, then another fever of 102 last friday, followed by a body rash that lasted Saturday through Tuesday. His runny nose and the rash left him in perfect timing for his doctor's appointment yesterday.
If he does get ill it all again before the operation, we are still to bring him to the hospital and the anesthesiologists with check him over and have a final say. The doctor said last year in February almost every surgery he had as postponed from his patients getting the flu. I hope it stays on schedule, as I just want to get it completed before his first birthday.
His surgery is for 7:30am on Tuesday. On Monday the 7th we have an appointment to have his blood tested with ours. This is a final confirmation our blood is hunky-dory for him....they also pull it out of the freezer and get it ready for use.
Fisher will be in the Intensive Care Unit for 2 days and then about 5 days in the hospital. Dr. Sundine said CHOC is not just treating the kids, they are treating families, too, so we can spend the night and it is like a community there, with parents going in and out of their children's rooms. That is a great feeling. They know that children heal better with their parents near. He said much of the time as he is healing, Fisher will just want to cling onto our shoulder and hold us.
