Maybe, Just Maybe Third Time Will be a Charm?

This might just be it folks, they brought Max back to the OR about 45 minutes ago and so far no one has come out to say we can't go ahead and finally get this done. I can only hope I didn't just jinx us....

Please pray and stay tuned.....

Third Time's a Charm

Or at least we're praying it will be! The cardiac surgical scheduler called yesterday to let us know that Max was scheduled for his procedure on Friday the 21st, the Monday before Christmas! Are they kidding me? First they wanted to do it the day before Thanksgiving and now just a few days before Christmas. Evidently no one realizes that we too like to celebrate holidays. 

Long story short, because Max is a "rock star" (the scheduler's description not mine...although I tend to agree) at Phoenix Children's they moved the kid that was scheduled for Monday the 17th so that Max can be first case that day. If all goes well, or at least better than the first two attempts at this, Max could/should be as good as new in time for Christmas. Again, that's what we're praying for!

Stay tuned and pray like mad for "good" blood levels!
