CHOP Day 3... And a favor...

So Henry and I spent a LOT longer at CHOP than we planned on today to get him officially "cleared" for surgery tomorrow...

We had an ECHO, EEG, Cardiologist appointment, and blood draw that I did not know about until this morning!

The blood draw was rough (as usual with my little guy), and then we found out as we were about to leave the hospital that the tech somehow "missed" the order for the CBC... Which is possibly the most basic blood panel ordered, especially before surgery...

I was NOT going to put Henry through that AGAIN because of someone else's error...so the anesthesiologist agreed that they could take the blood AFTER Henry was "put under" tomorrow morning...

They are not dealing with some "newbie" special needs momma here anymore...

Will post later tomorrow, Henry should go into surgery about 8:30am Eastern Time...

Now the favor...

Ok I was wrong... favorS - there are 2...

First, please pray for Henry... That there is not a repeat of the difficult intubation from last time and that he has a QUICK and EASY recovery...

Second, go here:

Go watch this video of the AWESOME Brady Murray who runs IRONMAN TRIATHALONS on behalf of the sweet children listed for international adoption on Reece's Rainbow....

And then VOTE OFTEN for him and children with Downs Syndrome and other disabilities all over the world...

My Chicago peeps know how to do the "vote early and often" thing, right???

I'll even reward you with a pic of Henry enjoying his pre-surgery "last supper" of his favorite food group...

Thanks for your prayers and support!!!
