The day has come: Surgery Day!

Tomorrow is the big day for our Superman! We are to check-in at CHLA at 8 am, with surgery to start at 9:30 am and  should be 3-4 hours. 

Today was pre-op, which consisted of NP's assessing Alexander to make sure he's healthy for tomorrow and having his blood drawn. The nurse had to stick him twice to finally get the draw and wrap his arm 3 times!! Poor guy was exhausted by the time she was done. After our visit to CHLA, I learned that we got a room at the Ronald McDonald house (RMH), which is reassuring that we won't have to get up super early to be at the CHLA on time. 

Over the weekend, we spent some time in Ventura. We thought, if we are going to be in quarantine, why not stay where the weather is cooler. While we were there, we got a chance to go to the Pumpkin Patch. We got there when they opened and had the whole patch to ourselves. Alexander enjoyed himself and there were no germs. :)

Tomorrow we hand our big boy over to the miracle surgeons. We ask that you wear red in honor of our Superman or (if you have one) your blue Baby Alleman Superman Heart shirt. We ask that you send positive thoughts and prayers that our superman stays strong; that his procedure goes great and that his recovery is better than ever. We want no surprises or bumps in the road toward recovery. We once again thank all of you for your support, and prayers and for following us along on our Superman's journey! I will update as I can tomorrow! <3
