Since it had been a full year since we visited Owen's Gtube surgeon, I thought it was time for a visit! Owen has had the same size Mickey button since he was 20 months old, so before I went through the trauma of changing it, I wanted to make sure he didn't require a bigger size.
We had to drive downtown to PCH for the button change, per new policy we couldn't do the button change in the East Valley office, which is much closer to us. So after waiting for over an hour to see the doctor, we discovered that the current button size was still fine. After she replaced the tube with the button I brought with me, we were on our way after just a five minute consult. We also were advised by Dr G that we absolutely can do all our button stuff in the East Valley and that we were given misinformation. Awesome. Have I mentioned how much I love our local children's hospital. {Insert sarcasm here}
After picking up Sis and running a couple errands, I came home at 4:05 to a message from the scheduler at Stanford. I called back, but they had just closed. Sigh. I'll call tomorrow to set all our dates, call insurance to work out the details and then book our next trip.
Kam is on the six week countdown until school is out! This week is AIMS testing and today was the writing portion of it. She always scores way above average on all her AIMS tests, so I have little to worry about there. She said the writing prompt of the day was..."Imagine you're locked in the grocery store overnight.. what do you do and why?" I know which aisle I would raid!!!
Time for dinner and my bed is looking mighty fine.
Until tomorrow...

Hello,
I have been following your blog for awhile. My great nephew just had his fontan at Stanford on Friday. Things went well, but his psyche is taking a beating. His mom, a nurse, is very sad and distraught. I will include his blog here. . . I'm sure there are other heart mothers around, but I am not sure if they can help. Could you read up on her blog and make a comment. Her heart baby is mad and not talking--did Owen do this? http://rietkerkfamily.blogspot.com/
Sorry to bother you, but through his heart condition, I have met a few heart kids I keep track of. You seem very down to earth and give great advice.
Sincerely, Mary Matsuno
