Surgery Day Has Finally Come


Here we are. It's crazy to think that we are at this point and we are SO grateful that Isaac is healthy and we are as ready as can be. Grandma Blake arrived a little before 5:00 this morning to take care of Alyssa, Jeff and Josh. She is so sweet to us and so willing to do whatever needs to be done so that we can focus our energy on helping Isaac.

We got to the hospital a little after 6:00 a.m. and got all registered. A little while later the nurse called us back to do his exam and make sure he is ready to go.


One more shot of that beautiful head before it is changed forever.



Grandma Barnes walked him around the waiting room, he looks so cute in his hospital pj's. He was getting very hungry, tired and cranky.

Dr.Siddiqi came in to explain things again and answer any questions. He also took a few pictures for him to have as reference. He has a very calming feeling about him and we know he is in the most capable hands.



Saying goodbye was tough, but we got through it. Lots of hugs and kisses and a lot of tears. It's hard to think about what will be waiting for him when he is done. We came to the waiting room and claimed our own little cubicle. Now we wait some more and try not to think too much about what is happening with Isaac right now. Be strong precious little one - you are loved.
