Dropping Connor off at grandma's house so he can go to my cousin's little boy's birthday party. It is to close to surgery date to go with Aiden so I am staying home an  hubby? Well he is stuck at work guess our customers decidded no three say weekend for him. Hope my bog boy has fun he is already asking why I can not come with him. Started to two him about Aiden's up an  coming surgery he only partially understood what was going on. He will get it with time I hope. Only thing he asked was if he broke brother's heart which I made sure to fully explain it was not his fault.

He's five years old!

He's five years old! Wait he's five years old? How did that happen? This year is flying by and now my oldest is five years old... wow.  This year is just flying ans he's five years old!!!!!

But now he's:

Ok what happened and why does time have to go so fast! Boogie boy Iove you and happy fifth birthday! Thank you for helping mommy laugh when she needs it. You have a strength in you that helps mommy so much.

Cardiology

His cardiology appointment went well. They basically wanted to make sure he was well enough for surgery. They checked his weight ans height, he gained 6 ounces since last weight check. Then they did an EKG, saturation and four point blood pressure. He stayed very calm though it all. It helped the nurse blew bubbles while she did the tests so instead of focusing on them he was playing with bubbles. He shook his head no when she was putting the monitor on his toe to look at his saturation levels. They said he is healthy enough for surgery. The EKG does show that his right side of his heart is larger then the left. Which they said they do expect.

We go in the ninth doe preop they are going to make sure the surgeon also works on his rib cage which has some calcium build up. They will try to have it so it does not stick out much. The surgery itself will last suburban hour to two hours minimal amount of time on bypass. Prep will tale the longest. He should hopefully only be on the respirator until that night or next morning. If it all goes well he may be there for three to four days possibly longer. He will just need sometime to heal after.

I do not realize how small A is until he is around other kids near his age. Goodness is he tiny! Just shows that he really does need this up and coming surgery. We go and see cardiology tomorrow do there will be a larger update either tomorrow or Tuesday. For now I will leave with two pictures first one try yo find the little boy who is hiding and the other more of brothers playing.

Brothers at play

Wordless Wednesday

Took Connor to get his hair cut today he did ok. He is not a fan of gettin  his hair cut and telling him he has to wait is extra hard about we manages. His heart is not as short as I wanted but with him you really do not push your luck.

 We already have his Halloween costume for this year. Grandma made the cape and the rest of it has been bought we just need to buy a temporary tattoo of Harry Potter's lightning scar and will he ready to go. Planning on buying Aiden a owl costume so he can match Connor .

His chest

One of our kitties died on Thursday had a hard time explaining it to Connor. Took him a while to understand but late that night it did finally get through to him and he broke down . I held on to him until he finally fell asleep for the night. She was my husband's cat and had always been in Connor's life. She will be missed. Eventually we will be getting another cat but not for sometime.

I recently to a picture of A and it showed how his chest healed after his surgery.

Admitting it has bothered me and I do hope it heals better after his next surgery. No this does not cause him any pain an  he does not act like he even noticed it. So I  is more of a cosmetic issue but kids are cruel!  He doesn't need extra stuff to be made fun of. Mow his scar that is fine  I want him to be proud of that just like I said kids are mean.
