just an update

this whole week is going to be busy for us...i am not sure how much 'quality' time i will get to spend blogging...

yesterday we took jonah for his pre-operative visit at the children's hospital...friday is the big day for his dental surgery and circumcision...the pre-operative visit was pretty much a waste of time...i drove 2 hours to nashville so a nurse practitioner could try to explain to jonah 'in terms he can understand' what they will be doing to him...sigh

the kid is only 22 months old...i was certain that unless barney the dinosaur came in singing to him he wouldnt even be remotely interested in what she had to say...let alone understand! geez louise!

anyway after she figured out that he was not playing along with her silly plan...she focused her attention on me...and she asked me if i had any questions or concerns...(HA! CONCERNS!! I AM THE WORLD CHAMPION WORRIER!!!)

i told her that my biggest concern was him being put to sleep...and she said...why are you concerned about that?

what i wanted to say back to her was....."um...hello...he has a heart defect...the two major risks with anesthesia are respiratory and cardiac 'events'...."

but what i ended up saying was...'um...well i am afraid they will put him to sleep and he will you know...um...well...you know" (i am such a tard)

she then did her best to try to calm my fears and reassure me...telling me that he had been put to sleep several times in the past and that his cardiologist thinks he will do just fine...

i am still worried but deep down i believe everything will be just fine...ugh

anyway on top of all of this...of course i have a test in biology this week and a power point presentation to whip up...there are only 4 weeks left in this semester....thank God!!
