Next Surgery

Matthew's next surgery was scheduled for next Monday.  This is the only surgery we foresee this year!  For this surgery, the urologist will bring down Matthew's testes, fix his hernia, and do a scope to see if his bladder is still connected to his belly button.  The hope is this will be a simple surgery and we should be home a few hours later. 

Unfortunately, when we went in to do the pre-surgical work up by anesthesiology yesterday, Matthew was not approved for surgery at the new west campus of Texas Children's.  Since that is where the surgery was scheduled, it will have to be rescheduled at the main campus.  Matthew's complicated history combined with his scary experience with anesthesia after the heart catheterization made it an easy decision for the anesthesia team.  Although I was jazzed about being at the new hospital, all we want is for Matthew to be in the best place that can handle him, all of his uniquenesses and any possible surprises.  Now we wait for the new surgery date.
