Wow! I feel sheepish! I didn't post ANYTHING after our Appt on the 9th! Ok..now that i've had some time to settle, let me think and start from square 1. The phone call i posted about the day prior to the appt. I was totally prepping for surgery...like soon! Ok, so we go down on the 9th for a sedated echo and appt with Dr Menon. The echo looks good! Which is fabulous!! ... right... ?? I was a little overwhelmed with all this difference of opinion/mind changing business that went on. He said in the appt that she looked good so he'd prefer to wait til the sick season in over to do the Fontan. Great! I totally agree! ..but why the phone call the day prior? why worry me? what did he think the day before that changed that day? ... ok so we left with him saying, we'll see him the end of March for JUST AN APPT with him, from there we'll schedule a cath for April/May and do Fontan May/June. THEEEENNNNNNNN.... i get a phone call a couple weeks later. "Hi this is ... from the cath lab calling to schedule Libbis cath the first on March" Ok WHAAT? I'm so confused, i say 'Did Dr Menon order this?' She says yes he did. Ok so NOW her cath is on March 12. ... and that's all i know. I'm just going with the flow, cause it seems to change direction EVERY minute! Phew there is the update. As far as MOMS view, she is getting ready. Shes extremely moody and grumpy, won't sleep and says more than once a day 'mom i don't feel good' :( :( Breaks my heart. But she is ok. She is fine, noone else would even notice, but MOM does :)
Ok so i've been saying for a while that i really want an IPAD for when she has surgery. For her to play games on, for me to update blogs and fb, basically for entertainment for her (and me) in the hospital. Well my sweet family came over the night before her echo and gave Libbi this money tree for Christmas! How cute is that!?! They gave her money to go towards her Ipad, which we now have, and LOVE!
The sweets of the fam :)
This shirt was wrapped as the skirt for the tree. It says.. and though she be but little, she is fierce!
..and that she is! She recovered so well from her sedation! She wanted some 'atorade' and was set to go!
Sweet baby cakes. Love her!!

Cute pics! I LOVE the main picture at the top!
That seems odd... I remember they did something similar with Grant... called me to schedule the cath a month before our doctor actually told us to. I think they are just super efficient! You might call Dr. Menon and just double check with him and then call the cath lab back to reschedule it for a little later. Besides... she needs an awesome third birthday party before any surgery stuff begins!! Keep us posted!
I was kind of hoping to be in "Fontan land" together. Your 1st plan is Severin's current plan. Cath April/May, Fontan May/June. Good luck on the 12th!I'll look forward to an update on Miss Libbi.
