Surgery Rescheduled

It was a good thing we canceled the surgery because Zane wound up with a cold. He had some chest congestion, which likely would have been cause for anesthesiology to turn him away in Denver. Two weeks prior to surgery, the urology office had Zane stop his elderberry syrup because it is a potential blood thinner. Justin, who kept taking his doses, stayed well; Zane got sick. Needless to say, Zane is back on the elderberry. We went full-force with nebulizer treatments of Albuterol and Pulmicort (five total per day), but have tapered it down to only two per day now. Much of that is due to the fact that Zane had an allergic reaction (we think) to the generic Pulmicort. He broke out in hives around his mouth. But, he is definitely on the mend and back to school.

Surgery has been rescheduled for October 10^th.

Thank you to everyone who offered encouraging and supportive words. They mean so very much. More than you realize!
