Surgery Date

The results are in... Caden's open heart surgery will take place at LPCH on Tuesday, April 9. As of yesterday, January 18, everything is officially scheduled.


The cardiologists decided he didn't need any additional studies done prior to surgery. Before the cath conference on Wednesday, we were told he would probably have a perfusion study and a heart cath in the 2-3 days preceding surgery. But after discussing his case, the concensus was these studies weren't necessary. I am more than happy to not have to put him through anything unnecessarily.

Dr. Mohan Reddy, who did Caden's first surgery, and Dr. Teimour Nasirov, will be his surgeons. It is kind of a relief to have this scheduled and not be wondering anymore. But at the same time, I am left with a heavy heart because I know this is really going to happen. Thank you for your prayers as we prepare for this day.

Well, this is no fun for you. But as you know, you are in very great hands. I'm so glad you are able to come back to Cali for surgery. I'm sure it will help to be in familiar hospital surroundings. Hang in there and enjoy the non-hospital time for now....
