Surgery Date

I apologize for not getting this posted sooner.
Alexis' surgery will be on Monday, Nov. 28th at Phoenix Children's Hospital.
The surgeon recommended we keep her out of school to limit her exposure to cold/flu germs. It was a long week at home trying to keep her busy. We took a field trip on Monday to see the last Locomotive Steam Engine in the US - (Dad's choice). Planted a garden on Thursday (basil, tomatoes, and marigolds) Worked on writing the letter I i - this letter didn't require much help. :) Cutting, gluing, counting, and coloring. I met the Child Life Specialist on Thursday night and she gave me some isolation masks for Lexi to wear when we do take her out in public. We've only taken her out twice and she has been such a good sport at wearing them with no complaints. She understands they are to help keep her healthy.
Her Pre-op appointment and screening is on Tuesday. It includes a chest xray, blood work, EKG, and a tour of the CVICU floor. Which means that on Monday night we will have to tell her that her broken heart needs to be fixed and she will now and forever have a line that marks the door to her beautiful heart(one of the hardest parts for us as parents).
