Surgery is scheduled

Shunt revision is Wednesday. The nurse from neurosurgery called this morning and said the doctor wanted to do surgery. She asked if he had a fever, cough, runny nose, etc... I told her he had a slight cough and some congestion. She told me he needed to get in and see his pediatrician to be cleared for anesthesia; TODAY. He also needs to get lab work done. When I took him two and half weeks ago, the neurosurgeon talked about admitting him a day early and giving IV antibiotics an infection precaution. The nurse is going to call me back with more details and a surgery time.

So......
Today: Doctor at 3p
Tomorrow: Lab work
Wednesday: Surgery

He watched the area for so long, now everything is moving so fast....
