Changes

Well today has been a day of mixed emotions. We spoke to the surgeon this morning and she decided that since we're not making much progress that surgery would be better sooner then later. So she said late next week or early the week after. But when we got back surgery had been booked for thursday the 16th at Victoria Hospital. The plan is to tranfer Benjamin on Tuesday as long as they can find him a bed there. I really didn't expect them to transfer us over to Vic. I'm so sad to have to leave St. Joes. These doctors and nurses have been there for us through the darkest time in our lives. We know them so well and they know us. I know the nurses in the PCCU will be just as great, but the change is hard. I'm so anxious about another major surgery...and the surgeon really doesn't know how serious it will be until she gets in. So we are praying that this surgery will go smoothly and Benjamin will pull through well the way he has with his last three. Lots of prayers are needed as we get ready for another surgery...

Benjamin wasn't feeling that great today. He seems to have a bit of a cold. So hopefully in the next day or two he'll start to feel better. The doctors also started some more antibiotics to help fight off any infections with his stomas/incision that could be brewing before surgery. Tomorrow he will also get his first set of vaccines..I feel bad that he has to get another needle, but I definitely want him protected going to Childrens hospital..its a necessary evil.

Anyways, prayers for a bed at Vic...a smooth week, and strength for us would be appreciated.
