Surgery Scheduled

We saw the surgeon today. He was very pleased with James' growth. The surgeon was so glad that he didn't operate in January because he would have interrupted James' recent growth spurt, which has landed him in the 80th percentile! We scheduled surgery for April 5th, the day after Easter (and little Miriam's 1st birthday). 3 weeks from yesterday! The surgeon probably could have worked him in earlier, but then he's going on a short vacation and we don't want James in the hospital with the surgeon not there. The surgeon is confident that since James is such a good size that he will be able to do the surgery without making any new incisions...everything can be done through the holes that are already in his neck and tummy! We are excited for the big day! We are sorry we aren't going to be able to make any Easter trips, but James will be healed soon so we can come and visit late April/early May, hopefully. (I can't believe I haven't been to Indiana in over 9 months!) Please pray that James stays healthy for surgery!
