PreOp

Big day of testing. Echo, EKG and Xray all went well. Macsen is such a brave little man and barely whimpered during the EKG (lots of stickers and scary clips.) He was a model patient suring his echo and xray. He barely cried during his lab draw - though the tech was amazing and got a vein very quickly. She listened when I said he was a tough stick - went to another room to get a NICU needle and put a heating pack on right away. He barely broke a sweat and we were done in no time. We had a meeting with the RN about last feeds for the day. So glad this time they said he can drink milk until 2:30 a.m. That is doable- last cath it was midnight so for 8 hours he ate/drank nothing which is tough on a 2 year old. We have to be back at 5:30 am for his MRI then his heart cath. Macsen's 1 and only freak out today was when his cardiologist came in at the end of everything - he was done and just kept saying "Poo-ah! Poo-Ahh!" So tonight Aunti G found us a nice hotel less than 2 miles from the hospital with an indoor "poo-ah" (pool.)

Being awesome during his echo

Blood draw :( He insisted on taking a photo to show his sisters

Helping Aunti G find a another hotel room since we can't get into the Ronald McDonald house

Playing while we wait for our Xray

Pools make everything better
