This morning's appointments

Our day started very early this morning. Cooper didn't sleep great last night, and ended up in bed with me most of the night. Our first appointment with the pulmo was at 8:45 and then we went to register and pre op with anesthesiology. We didn't leave the hospital until 12. Cooper fell right to sleep in the car and then had a very good lunch of chicken and veggies and pears. He is now having a 'shake-shake" and watching Jay-Jay the jet plane. The pulmo was very pleased with Cooper. He thinks he should do well, and wanted to wait and see about keeping Cooper the night after surgery. Everyone in the surgery pre-op told me to come prepared to stay, because we probably would, but we won't know for sure until the morning. I really hope they will keep him. I will be a nervous wreck otherwise. Surgery is scheduled for 11:30, so we are to arrive at 9:30. They will give him a xopenex nebulizer in the morning prior to anesthesia. Hopefully that will help. So, now for a fun and flattering story. The anesthesiologist was so sweet. She came in and talked like we were old friends. Then, when we were finishing up, she said "so what field of medicine are you in?" I laughed and told her I wasn't.  She said she was very impressed and thought I could pass myself off as a physician! I told her, I'm my child's only advocate, I research everything thoroughly before hand and know what is going on. Anyway, I was super flattered. My aunt is on her way and we are going to have a fun time shopping and such this afternoon! Will update ASAP in the morning.
