Wednesday Christopher had his pre-op visit with Dr. Carney's staff and the anesthesia group at Grady Hospital. We were there for over 5 hours. Everything looks good for surgery on the 19th.

We had to race from downtown Atlanta to Roswell to the New Mind Center where Christopher does the neuro-feedback training. We were able to make it on time. Fortunately his sessions only last about an hour, we had to rush home to pickup Lola, Davis's dog. She had to see a vet in Cumming to see if she needed surgery, our local vet referred us to them.

So Christopher and I started at 645am and got back home around 600pm. Lola has to go back next Wednesday for surgery. She has a lump on her bottom that has to be removed. We have to keep our fingers crossed that it isn't cancer. We just lost Buster a few months ago because of cancer.

Well our night wasn't over yet, Christopher and I made our way up to Lassiter to watch the baseball team play Parkview. Awesome win in extra innings.

It seems everyone wants to get in on having surgery. This past Friday night after the lacrosse game, I had to take Davis to Piedmont Hospital. He ended up being admitted and having surgery Saturday morning. What's the saying, things always happen in threes.

Davis has done well, his surgery lasted just a little over an hours and a half. They transported him back to his room after a short stay in the recovery room. Everyone treated him so well. Thank you to all the wonderful folks at Piedmont. He is just going to have to miss a couple weeks of lacrosse, he isn't to happy about that, but he doesn't want to go through that pain again.

For all of you that don't know, I am starting back to work on Monday March 16th, I have been home with Christopher for 2 years now. He continues to amaze us with his strength and determination.

I just heard from Lola's vet, unfortunately it isn't good news, her pathology results came back and the tumor they removed is cancerous and the prognosis is not good. She is such a sweet dog.

March is not starting out well, please keep our family in your prayers.
