Hospitalization #582

It wasn't really number 582 but it feels like it. So anyways we ended up not having surgery the day before Thanksgiving. We went to the main admitting area that we were supposed to go to before surgery and we let them know what we were there for and went and sat down. Ten minutes later the lady comes up to us and tells us that it was canceled and they had tried calling us before we got there but not to leave because the surgeon wanted to talk to us. We sat there for a half and hour and Dr.Curnow comes and talks to us and tells us why he had canceled it. He had been doing surgery for 36 straight hours and could hardly see straight, he didn't want to be doing such a complicated surgery in that state. Which was a good thing!

Brody had a cold for awhile and it got worse and he stopped eating so we took him into the doctors on the following Monday. They found out he had pnuemonia again(6th time) and was having a hard time breathing and wouldn't eat. He was admitted to the hospital at St. Alphonsus. AMAZING hospital!! We were there for a couple of days and then released. He is now on oxygen at night. He has surgery TOMORROW! Hopefully no cancellation because he really needs this surgery, we really don't want pnuemonia anymore.
