"Dr. Soup"

So today was the big weight check- and Jack came in at 10.7 kilos, AKA 24 pounds. That is surprisingly good, I thought he'd still be 22 or even less. So perhaps my beefed up Mac'n'Cheese is working.

Dr. Su (known as "Dr. Soup" to Jack,) was happy with the weight gain and said he felt confident with go ahead with surgery, but that the surgeon would most likely want to wait longer. The problem with waiting a few more months is that the worst time of year to have surgery and be in the hospital is December through March. So it's either REALLY soon, or next spring. UNLESS, he suddenly is showing symptoms and needs to have surgery right away.

So now we await news from Primary's.

After the visit there, we went right up to the U to see Dr. Norlin, Jack's pediatrician, who had us come see him just because he is a sweet, caring man, and wanted to check on Jack's well being. He had nothing but good things to say also, and is going to get in touch with Dr. Su.

So once again, we begin the waiting game. Sorry to get everyone all hyped up with surgery dates and CATH's and everything. I promise, he will really have this surgery someday...
