Quick update

I talked Dr. G's nurse into getting us in on Monday morning. This makes me feel much better. We just have to have faith that things will happen when they are supposed to happen!

Evan has been sick *sigh* again so I'm just catching up today. Read the last post and this one and I'm sending a hug your way. Praying for the appointment on Monday.

I am so glad that you are getting in there sooner...I know that it will help ease your mind...now, just to get you through the weekend...I hope you have slept! Find something fun and warm to do...oh...come down here...it is going to be 68 degrees today! Better yet...let's all head to Vegas to see the Rollers...I bet it is warm there!

Love,
Samantha

YES...you guys fly down to see us...I'll start heating the pool!!!
Megan...let's look at the positives. What a blessing it was for Eli to have a rash...that brought you to the doctors office. Just having more time to prepare if the surgery is sooner is certainly better than if Eli had to be rushed into his next surgery. I hope the lasix helps buy you guys time...I hope you get all your questions answered.
I'm not ready for Eli to go back in for surgery either....but, we'll all be here for you guys! It is harder and a lot different taking them in now that they are little personalities...I bring a suitcase full of his favorite things everytime we go in now.
We will all be here to hug you everyday...Just enjoy your weekend and get your list of questions answered for Monday!
Love,
Kathy

Geez - these kids of ours!! I am still waiting on a bed - they are saying between 3 and 4. I am glad that you are getting in to see G-Man sooner. I know that will help put your mind at ease. I hope that you have a restful weekend!!

Love,
Jen

Glad you got an earlier appt...waiting can be agonizing in these situations. I hope he can be treated medically rather than surgically. Eli is in our thoughts.

Thankfully you got in to see the cardiologist quickly. Good luck on Monday. Like I said on my other comment I will pray for Elijah. Stay strong.

Well thank goodness for the rash, or you wouldn't even know about his heart issue. You guys are always in my prayers. I know you will get through this, even though you think you wont. Arianna has only had one surgery so far but when that day comes I know it will be hard. When they are babies its easier, but as you get to know them things get a little harder. I don't mean to make you feel worse, just wanted you to know your not alone in these feelings. I'm here if you need anything hun.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, you guys. What would I do without you all?? Tiffany, your comment in the last post made Dan and me giggle. Yes, Dr. Moga is a cutie. I think Dan has a bigger crush on him than I do! :) Surgeons are supposed to be ugly so the parents don't have crushes!

Off to entertain crying, tired baby. Thanks again, everyone! xoxoxoxo

Samantha said...

Have I ever posted a picture of OUR surgeon? I will have to do that right now...he is a hottie as well...all the mommy's, daddy's, nurses and everyone has a crush on Dr. Mendeloff...I will post one in a few minutes, so check him out!

Have a great weekend!
