Rainy Days and Thursdays.

It was rainy yesterday. And cold. It made for a nice day of sitting inside and drinking hot chocolate with my boys. Riley was supposed to have soccer practice, but it was canceled due to standing water on the fields. The NYSL wanted to "preserve" the integrity of the fields, so they wouldn't permit players to come to the fields with their cleats on to practice. Today is a little nicer, thank goodness. At least its sunny and its supposed to be the warmest day for the remainder of the week. I tell you what, all of this rain could have come over the summer when the temperatures were sweltering and the grass was dying. But I digress.

We are t-minus 1 day from surgery now. We should receive a call from the OR sometime today letting us know what time to be there.  From what we understand the time slots go by age. Basically, the younger the child the earlier they get in. So hopefully Hayden won't have to wait too long in the morning since he won't be able to eat or drink after midnight. While we are at Riley, we are planning on making a quick trip up to the NICU to visit with some of our favorite nurses who are going to be working. I can't wait for them to see how much Lukas has grown in the three months since his operation (holy cow - can you believe that was really 3 months ago already?). Time sure does fly.

So my task for the day is to go and get Hayden some comfy pajamas to wear to and from the hospital. Not that he doesn't have a million pairs, but we wanted to get him something extra comfortable since he will come right home and lay down. We don't want him being uncomfortable for the ride home and we don't want to have to pester him when we get here to put "comfy" clothes on. Maybe some Spiderman or Star Wars pajamas - something that will maybe cheer him up afterwards cause I'm sure he won't be a happy camper. 

Happy Thursday friends!  

P.S. - Baby Scarlet is doing wonderful and they are hopeful that she will be extubated tomorrow! That's just wonderful! She will be able to be discharged in two weeks! Go Scarlet!! Aren't these sweet little heart warriors just amazing?
