We still don't know!
Dan brought Elijah in for his pre-op physical this morning. His lungs and ears sounded and looked great. The only hang-up is that the doctor who sent his whooping cough cultures to the lab didn't request a quick result in addition to the long 7-10-day result. And apparently they won't even allow Elijah in the hospital if he has been exposed to whooping cough and does not have a test result showing that he does not have it.
The nurses called around and found a lab downtown that would be able to culture another sample and give us results by tomorrow at the latest. So, that is where Dan and Elijah are right now.
A couple cool things.. In addition to getting immunology labs drawn while Elijah is under sedation, we are now also getting a hearing test done and allergy labs drawn. It feels wonderful to cross three things off the list without seeing our little boy endure pain or anxiety. This makes me very very happy.

I hope everything will be going smooth with Elijah's surgery on Thursday.
You'll be in our thoughts. Sending our blessing and love your way!
Lots of love xoxo
That is a good thing - getting things done while he is already under - awesome that they can achieve this all at once!
I would be veru happy with that, too...put the poor little monkey thru as little discomfort as possible!!! Sending e-hugs girlie.
Uff! Hope the second set of cultures comes back okay so that this surgery doesn't have to be prolonged!
Oh... Yay for having those nasty pokes done while he is sedated!! The less (conscious) pokes, the better!
Give him big hugs from us... prayers still coming!
We will pray for a negative whooping cough result. Yeah, that he can have 3 tests done while never remembering it.
Keep your chin up...it will all fall into place.

It really is great to get all this done while he is asleep. Good job Mom!
