Sam's surgery has been scheduled for August 18th at UNC Hospitals. We'll need to be there around 6am and the surgery will be around 7am. Pre-op is the day before at 10am.
The surgeon's office told me today that this will be an extremely painful surgery, so he will need at least 5 days to recover in the hospital. He'll be on an epidural for two of those days. Dr. Stewart is going in through his side, rather than the front, which is apparently what contributes to the pain.
We're taking one crisis at a time right now, so now that that has been scheduled, we're going to move on to getting Carolina home. Then we'll focus more on the horror of what is about to happen.
Blessings.

Friends,
Thank you for the details concerning the surgery and we'll DEFINITELY be covering ya'll.
Teesa, You know the part about the pain for Sam just about did it for me. They have been through so much already, you know? I wish he didn't have to go through this, but I am grateful he will have his Mommy and Daddy and a new little sister by his side!
Major Hugs as we count down the days until our next surgery, 24 and counting. Coming up way too quickly if you ask me *sigh*
