This Christmas feels weird because a few weeks ago we were all set to go to Philly for testing. Then all those plans were cancelled by CHOP. Then the possible heart failure diagnosis and everyone else realized Macsen did indeed really need to go for a cath. We had to wait for scheduling all over again. I'm calling them twice a day. We didn't have dates and couldn't plan - flying before Christmas? After? Flying with gifts for the kids and all the extended family up north or just mail everyone else's gifts? Wait - in the middle of all the uncertainty I realize we haven't really shopped for gifts except for the kids. Not even for each other. Not for all the family we may or may not see. Phew - glad they all understand shopping has not been a priority. We are set to fly out on the 27th with testing Dec 29 and the cath Jan 2. I'm worried about flying with Mac and his low O2. I'm worried about flying out of Atlanta - their parking situation gives me major anxiety. I'm worried about what the cath doctor will find:( I'm super worried about germs and Macsen getting sick before his procedure - from strangers and from friends/family. I hope all our friends and family up north understand what a tremendous strain we are under and that we probably won't be able to visit with everyone. Please love us from afar if you are sick or think you might possibly be getting sick. Rescheduling Mac's cath because he contracts a cold would be such a nightmare. We will also be transporting our last (and favorite) foster kitty Asher to my nephew in MD.
Christmas was very laid back. We went to our Church Service on Friday so we had a leisurely day at home - opening gifts and making an amazing Christmas dinner. We even found a lost dog and returned it to its owner.
