Surgery rescheduled, again

Sorry I am a little late at posting this, but it has been a busy week. Last Friday, the ENT's office called to let me know the dr was going to be out of town the day we had scheduled Cooper's surgery in April, so we needed to change it. First they suggested moving it to April 10. That is Good Friday, so I said that wouldn't work; then she said well how about the next week, like the 17th. I just felt so bad for Cooper and knew he really shouldn't wait that long. He is doing so much better, but he still has tough times, and frankly, I am just so ready to get this over with. So, I asked if there was any time earlier, and told them that Cooper had been well for a week. She said we could do it on March 27, next Friday. We went with that date. I am really gearing up for it. While Cooper had RSV, he was on steroid breathing treatments. I believe they really helped with the swelling in his throat. He is doing so much better eating now. He has been eating chicken again, and taking his normal amount of formula. We also started him on Zyrtec daily. This has made a huge improvement. While I hate adding another medicine to the list, I know this one is really needed, and he is doing just terrific with it. His stridor has been better at night. I do notice if we play outside though, he usually could use a breathing treatment before bed, just to clear things up. Other than that, it has been a smooth couple of weeks at our house, which is just grand! He hasn't been to ANY dr in 2 weeks, which is sadly the longest all year. This cold season has been VERY rough on him, harder than expected, but I think we are past it now. We have been staying in more, no church, mom's club, bible study. Nothing where he would be in direct contact with other children. It has been hard, but I think it has made all the difference, and we have to keep him healthy until surgery. We've been washing hands often and using lots of disinfectant wipes. He's doing great, so it is all worth it. He will have 2 pre-ops the day before surgery, 1 with the pulmonologist and 1 with anesthesiology. We will have to leave practically in the middle of the night to make the first of the 2 appointments. It is at 8:45, so we will need to leave around 5 to make it with the traffic. Please pray for traveling mercies. Also, I am a little nervous that they will opt not to keep him overnight since he looks so good, but he needs to stay overnight. I need for him to stay overnight. I will be a worried mess otherwise. It is not the tonsillectomy I am concerned about, but rather his response to anesthesia. Last time he did not wake up well, and I would have hated to take him home after that. Anyway, that really is my only concern at this point. I think all will go well. Thanks in advance for the thoughts and prayers in the upcoming week.
