Change of plans...

After a 2 1/2 hour meeting last Monday with Sam's surgeon, pediatrician and various others we have decided to wait with the g-tube surgery. We came to this conclusion because we are not sure that it is the right time of year to have this done. The feeling was that during this intense cold/flu season, the peds floor is very busy and they might not have enough staff to meet Sam's needs. Also, we would like to have hime fully recovered from this past illness before beginning a new challenge. We will discuss the surgery again in two months. So, the GOOD news is that we should be able to bring Sam home by the end of next week!!! We are so excited to think that we may all be home together again. The staff at CCHS has been wonderful, but it's not home and we are anxiously awaiting our move back to the east side of town!
