A Trip to the Surgeon

Day 64:

The day started wishing your Grandma MeMeow and Grandpa K9 safe travels as they headed off back to South Carolina, Conor. Your MeMeow was so sad, Boy'O. She wants to be close to Mommy and you so she can be here for her daughter and watch you grow up, but if you ask me diaper changing is overrated!

Following the fond farewell I shoved off to work and it was up to Mommy to get you all sorted out. If you recall the post from two days ago, Dr. Banta found you had an inguinal hernia and recommended a local surgeon who takes appointments in Fairfax but has privileges at Childrens' Hospital in Washington DC. I can't recall the Doc's name but Mommy liked her and she came highly recommended. Still, Doctor says it'll most likely be outpatient surgery pending your experience with the anesthetic. She showed Mommy just where they'd make the incision and described what would happen next, and was very confident the whole operation would really only take a few minutes. The only bummer is, you're not old enough to receive the anesthetic without minimizing risks at this point, so we've been instructed to wait until you're 50 to 55 weeks gestation ally - That puts us right around late March. The good news is, you're not in any pain so time is less a concern.

Well, that's all for tonight Lion-Heart. I'm beat and gotta get up early to go to work. I love you, Boy'O.
