More Details

So today is not ending quite as we expected. The day started off with us all trying to get into a new routine. The morning was tough on me but our older daughter was still sleeping when I left for work and Audra was snuggling with our awesome nanny. I am sure it was tougher on me than them.

My husband took his lunch to come home for our appointment with our home care nurse. Audra's oxygen saturation levels were lower again. Our nurse called our cardiologist who then called me. She let me know that our surgeon wanted to schedule Audra's surgery for next week and the scheduling people would call. Got all that? Anyway, our cardiologist also wanted us to bring in Audra at noon on Tuesday. Okay, we can make it happen.

Then I get a call from our surgeon's assistant. She tells us that Dr. Bove wants our surgery on Monday! Just a week away. Even more of a shock is the fact that our pre-op day is tomorrow (I guess today since it is after midnight) and then she will have a catheterization on Wednesday. She should be able to come home both nights but there is a chance she might have to stay on Wednesday. The estimate for her hospital stay is a week after surgery. We are hoping and praying for this.

What a whirlwind! The good news is that my boss has been awesome about all of this. He told me today he had a nightmare that I quit and he doesn't want that to happen. So that is good news because he allows us a lot of flexibility and doesn't want me to worry about work issues while I am off - and boy there are a lot of issues.

Grandma and Grandpa are making their travel arrangements and we are do happy for that!

All of your thoughts and prayers are appreciated!!
