Everything looks like a GO!

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! LOL, thank goodness Matthew doesn't have to do all this paperwork. And there is surely going to be more on Monday, I'm sure.

Matthew went yesterday to the pediatrician for last minute pre-op stuff and was given the OKIE DOKIE sign to go. I've spoken with Children's Hospital and we had to fax one thing to them but other than that, it looks like a go on their half too. So now we wait for our Surgical Ward Nurse to call us with details about Matthew's 24 hours leading up to the surgery.

Gosh, so many things run through a parents mind. I tell ya. Racing, like Indy or NASCAR wouldn't be able to keep up with my brain at the moment. I'm just waiting to get home to start doing things there. (Taking away sippy cups, do Matthew's bedroom/tidy up, pack for Matthew, myself and Rebecca, getting my recipes in order for Matthew, etc.)

Becca is going to my sister's house Sunday night and she will take care of her for Monday and possibly beyond that if need be. (hopefully not though) We will try our darndest to keep everyone up-to-date on Matthew on Monday. NO CELL PHONES are allowed in the surgical ward where we will be. LEAVE A VOICEMAIL on my cellphone! (Yes, we have new ones that let you do that.) I will get back to you, or Roy will. If we start calling some folks, that means something has happened (not a good thing) and will be asking for MAJOR prayers! I hope this doesn't happen, but it would be nice to get ahold of our closest family/friends (if need be).

Charlie goes to the vet on Saturday. Poor thing. POOR THING? HA! Yeah right! Guess who had the runs (outside mind you) this morning because he got into our BRAND NEW LOAF OF WHEAT BREAD?!?!?! Yep, Charlie! At least he has good taste! But good grief!

TMI (too much information), I know. He is a member of the family now! So you get to hear about HIS antics too!

Ok, a little humor amongst some seriousness. That's a good thing.

Until you hear from us again..........don't know if it will be this weekend or on Monday.........stay tuned. AND, keep praying for our son, please! Thank you for your outpouring/tenderhearted prayers for him. He's come a long way! Thank you.

Good luck, Matthew! Ying, Olivia and I will add you to our prayers tonight. Mama, try not to worry too much. It's going to be ok. Matthew, like Ying, will come through with flying colors. They are tough kids. By Tuesday, you'll be wondering what you were so worried about!
