Hayden's surgical appt!

I've got good news and bad news to report!!

Always the bad first....

BAD NEWS: Hayden needs an extensive ultrasound tomorrow morning at 7:30am and he can not eat 6 hours prior to the scan. This sucks for him and me. Not only do we have to roll out of bed at the asscrack of dawn, Hayden can't have anything to eat or drink by mouth for six hours prior to the ultrasound. I scheduled it early in the morning so he wouldn't be too cranky. He's use to waking up and having his milky and breakfast so we'll get the ultrasound out of the way and then he can hit up his toddler all you can eat buffet. Fingers crossed that its not what the doctor suspects, a mass.

GOOD NEWS: Hayden does NOT need surgery!!! AMEN!!!! From his findings with poking around on his tummy and naval, he does not have a hernia. Thank GOD!!!! He does have a growth of some sort that has to be looked at extensively with an ultrasound scan thats supposively going to take anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour. Are you kidding? Your kidding right!!! No, they expect Hayden, a thirteen month old rambunctious little boy to sit still and lay there with an empty tummy for that long. Haaa.... I hope they have help lined up! This boy is a wiggle worm and has been since I first felt him move in my stomach.

Of course the appointment is back up at DCMC. I do not want to have to drive all the way back up there in rush hour. So I'm about to get on the horn (phone) and call them to ask if we can have it scheduled at the Round Rock office. *sigh* FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

I am however very proud of Hayden... during his appointment this morning, while Dr. Meyer was examining his tummy for a solid 15 minutes and doing various tests, Hay layed there and giggled the whole time. His tummy is so ticklish and he thought it was funny that the doctor was poking and rubbing his ticklish spot. And when he was done looking him over, Hayden sat up and said "yea" and clapped his hands. This is the first time he's said "yea!" on his own!!! SO PROUD!!!

Wish us luck for a positive outcome at tomorrows ultrasound. Pray!!!
