Today I finally got up the nerve to call the plastic surgeon's nurse. She is almost always more on the ball than me, so I usually don't call to bug her. It ahd been almost 2 weeks since I talked to her last and all she was waiting on was the official letter from the hematologist so that we could schedule surgery. Low and behold, I called and she had the letter! Amazing.... I got to something before she did! She had to check into what all he needed before surgery and call me back. She called about an hour ago.
Drew is scheduled for bone graft surgery and palatal fisure repair in January 22, 2007.
Hey, I just realized something! He had his soft palate surgery January 22, 2002! CRAZY! Anyway... I am just glad it is all worked out! That is a big wieght off my shoulders and we can start preparing again to get it out of the way. He will have to miss more school than I would have liked, but all in all I think it will work out just fine. It seems we have been led so far and everything has worked out for the best. It is just nice to finally be here.... AGAIN! Now, I just have to get in touch with the dentist (he and the orthodontist decided SIX of Drew's bottom teeth needed to be removed) to coordinate surgery times with them and the hematology departmetn to set up the palatlet transfusion the night before the surgery. Hmmm. I guess it never really ends anyway!
