Today will be a process. We are waiting now to do an x-ray. So far we have drawn blood and met with the surgeon's nurse practitioner and gone over Clayton's history.
This whole place revolves around risks. Clayton has some snot and a little cough that he has had for a while now. Even though he has not had a fever at all and his snot is clear and his lungs have sounded clear as a whistle, we have to be isolated. Better safe than sorry and we totally respect that. They are even running flu and RSV tests on him just to be sure. Then they are going to test again for the BK virus. It's not just Clayton though, they just called Clayton back for his x-ray and asked me to stay out in the waiting room just in case. Usually they ask women if there is any chance they could be pregnant, in this case they just avoid it all together if dad is around. Lots of precautions!
We haven't met with doctors just yet. We do know to expect to be here at 6:30 Friday for surgery if things go as planned. From there it is a 6-8 hour surgery if there are NO complications. So it is likely to be longer. After surgery we are looking at a 7-10 day hospital stay. Again if there are NO complications. That's the key...
George just walked out with Clayton. I could hear Clayton screaming as they tried to get him to be still and I can now see George covered in sweat. Good times...
