tuesday. Ford is scheduled for his glen procedure on tuesday. medical staff are quick to add that should an emergency arise, he would get bumped, not being in critical condition himself. we experienced that for just one day with Ford's norwood, but have seen other families go through numerous postponements. so it is with a grain of salt that we're preparing for the 22nd.
22 has always been my favourite number - what can i say, i was born on a 22nd day. i don't find it at all auspicious that his surgery will (may) take place on the 22nd, but it does make me smile to see that number.
Dr. Human had wanted Ford to go to the ICU 2 days in advance of the surgery to be put not on milrinone but some other drug to the same effect. Cecilia, who delivered the "he is on the schedule for tuesday" news (with the all important disclaimer emphasis on SCHEDULE), was unaware of this idea (doctors not in the loop? quel suprise!) and said ICU is rather full at present. she's going to bring it up with Dr. Duncan, the cardiologist who is on service this weekend.
meanwhile, here is Ford disguised as a lady bug:

ReplyDeleteWell, well, well. 22 eh? Our precious Gordon was born on the 22nd of May. Love that #. Lots of prayers going out there for Mom, Dad and Baby Ford.
ReplyDeleteI think, personally, that Ford is getting to be about the right size for a full on sailor suit...He can't go sailing in ladybug wear, do you think?

"... full of grace," with some impishness stirred in, maybe? If I hadn't been tipped off, I'd have guessed: "Li'l Devil costume!" Completely cute, whichever. Good thing you got some gallivanting in while the getting was good, as I don't suppose you can skip out once you're "On The Schedule." Wishing you all the best with prep and surgery, a minimum of suspenseful wait-time and maximum recovery speed, now that you're all stoked up with normal and novel experiences to fuel your day- and night-dreams; and sending you love--Elaine.
