I am posting this on the evening of the 26th, hoping that Brendan’s Fontan procedure will be taking place tomorrow morning. It was originally scheduled for the 20th, but then postponed at the last minute. Today we went in for pre-op testing. Brendan had an EKG, a chest x-ray, and they drew four vials of blood. Brendan has a very loud piercing scream. He wanted no part of bloodwork, but he recovered quickly. He was quite brave about it until the very last minute.
\n When surgery was rescheduled, they set it for 1:00PM tomorrow. Today, we were told that another emergency case has bumped everything around and that Brendan was moved up to 8:00AM. Then this evening, I get a phone call from the surgical assistant. He says that the surgeon was flying home today and his flight had a major delay. They bumped Brendan back to 11:00AM. Now I am feeling a bit panicky that they will call in the wee hours and tell me the surgeon did not make it back to AZ.
\nI am having trouble handling the uncertainty.<\/p>\n

So I will catch up on all the cute, happy pictures since the last update.<\/p>\n

We spend enough time at LegoLand that Google Maps thinks I work there. It pops up in the morning and tells me how long it thinks traffic will make my commute to “work”.

They spend up to 6hrs each visit, mostly lost in this enormous play structure.

Monsoon season has arrived and we have had some interesting weather. Trevor wanted me to take a picture of these clouds because he thought it looked like a volcano.

I got a new chair in the mail. That means giant cardboard box.

The chair is awesome. (It swivels) That is how I like to sit in it too! \ud83d\ude00

The boys LOVE giant cardboard boxes. I love the giggles. They are quite silly.
