Surgery Scheduled!!

It has been an interesting few weeks around here. We had the consultation with the surgeon on the 13th which was not worth the $40 co-pay...all she did was ask what we needed to have done and then said she would call us in 1-2 weeks when she can put him on the schedule. So finally yesterday we heard from the scheduling dept who told us that we have a date set for ...June 12th... Xavier's 11th birthday. Another B-Day spent in the hospital is not what X was planning on but we want to get it done ASAP and if we didnt take this date we would have to wait longer. Luckily it is an outpatient procedure to have his catheder out, so he goes in @ 9:30am, and we should be home by late afternoon. The procedure itself only takes about 20 mins, the long part is the anesthesia. Once it is removed he will be able to shower within a day or 2, and can go swimming a few days after that! I cant wait to see him swimming again, he has really missed it!
We also had his bloodwork done on Tuesday. His counts are 1590, which is still really good. They are down a bit from the last time but that is to be expected since he had a spinal chemo 2 weeks ago. Our next appt is on June 2nd for a spinal and IV chemo. Will update again after that appointment.
