Upcoming procedure

Just to let you know, Ron's procedure has been scheduled for Tuesday, Jan 25. Since Dr. D's first day back is Monday; he and Dr. A wanted to be able to meet to discuss Ron and come up with a game plan before tackling things on Tuesday. Dr. A also met with Dr. S to get his input (since he knows Ron's anatomy inside and out). All three doctors will be in hospital on Tuesday "just in case".

It's nice to hear they are being proactive in having everyone available if an issue arises; however, I confess it kind of FREAKS ME OUT that what is typically a simple procedure requires so much planning and foresight; and that the thought even arises that there could be complications.

I think things became more of a concern after his non-procedure last week; he developed a hematoma in his belly which put him out of commission for several days. Thankfully, it resolved on it's own with no intervention required (other than what we could do at home).

On another note, our sweet Ella and Mila were just about over their colds then it kicked back in with that awful cough, nasty noses and sleepless nights. On top of that, this weekend they also came down with a stomach bug. Mommy & Daddy say that despite continued yakking, they've been fairly happy little troopers.

Please pray:

for Dr. D as he prepares for and performs Tuesday's procedure, as well as Dr. A and Dr. S as they are on standby
for Ron-- he's been off blood thinner for 10 days in preparation and was also put on a clear liquid diet for 48 hours prior.
for the procedure to go smoothly
that success will provide Ron relief; including some much-needed, uninterrupted sleep!

We were told to come prepared to be admitted, but we're hoping that things will go so well this won't be necessary!
