~DOCTOR, DOCTOR, EVERYWHERE A DOCTOR~

JM started off the day seeing his pediatican(to have yet another History and physical completed) and then we went to the Pediatric Orthodondist as well...so I would have to say he is Doctored out! He has done really well...but I will be glad to have this surgery overwith on Thursday!
The Pediatrican thinks he looks great and is ready for surgery...and then gave him a Polio vaccination. He had titres drawn and all his vaccinations seem to be fine except the polio. So we will redo those! He did indeed have the chickenpox while he was in China...so we can cross that one off the list. Can you even imagine a room full of little ones with cleft lip and palates and the chickenpox!! I don't even want to think about that!
The Orthodondist is excited about his mouth! She adjusted it one more time and says we have used everything there is...and it should be fine.
I was thankful to confirm that all that comes out on Thursday prior to his lip being fixed! That surgery doesn't start till 4PM...not sounding like a good time keeping a 16 month old without anything to eat or drink all day! But I will do what I have to do to get this done!
JM and I will spend the night at the Hospital and SF will hold down the fort at home!
Prayers and good thoughts will be appreciated. I wont be able to post anything till we get home sometime on Friday! Just so you are not imagining the worst!! I do not have computer access away from home!
All for now.

These little guys are troopers, aren't they?! Praying that his surgery goes well and that his recovery will be quick. Praying for a little extra sleep for you as well :)

JM is in our prayers daily! As are the rest of your crew! I cried tonight looking at the photos... I know he will look so handsome when he has had the surgery, but he is just so darn adorable without it!!

Hugs!
