Surgery is Tuesday Morning

Max is scheduled to go in for surgery to place the g-tube nissen on Tuesday morning at 7:45. There is one study that the surgeon wants to have done before the surgery happens. The only problem with this is that the study is suppose to last for 24 hours and they aren't going to start it until tomorrow sometime. So, I think their plan is to do it for 12 hours, but the attending physician still doesn't think the results will be back in time for the scheduled surgery time. The attending said that she is going to do everything that she possibly can to get this surgery done Tuesday, or else we will be postponed for another week and a half to two weeks. ERR! So there is a slight possibility that his surgery could be cancelled. ERR!

Myself and the physician are very frustrated with the scheduling conflicts! The study was suppose to be done on Friday, but it didn't for whatever reasons. I am just trying to be very patient with everyone involved.

We are also having a care conference tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 with all of his doctors, dialysis nurse and his RCNIC nurse, so we'll see how that goes. The plan is to finally have everyone on the same page at the same time- for once!

*sorry, I am a little bitter today*

Have a great week!
