Operation booked

Dominic is now booked in for his lobectomy on the 10th of December, just after he turns 1. Debbie will be staying with him in hospital, and I will be trying to suss out whether I can stay in as well :-) When we talked to the surgeon last we asked about the typical recovery time and he thought that about three nights in hospital would be standard. Of course we thought we were only going to be in hospital overnight when the little guy was born and that didn't quite work out, so we'll just have to play it by ear. One significant difference is that Debbie will be physically fine since she's not having an operation or giving birth. We will of course let people know how the surgery goes and whether we're visitor friendly and such. It will be awesome once the operation is over and Dom's all healed up!

Looking forward to being part of your support team on the weekend of December 13/14 - and remembering this time last year - hasn't a year gone fast! Roll on Christmas and having all of this behind you.

As said yesterday, talk to Ronald MacDonald House. Its over the road as as you live over 50km away you should be able to stay. No need then to travel back and forth, and has all the usual facilities for washing clothes etc.

Cheers
