Hi Tim and Kathy,
I am glad to her that your check up went well. Today is my last day of work until who knows when. Friday is the big day, and I am so anxious & nervous I can't concentrate on anything. I can't wait until we have this next huge step under our belts. I am glad to hear that we will be in good hands with Dr. Koch; I really like him, he has a no nonsense approach. He also seems to think Shawn will come through this with flying colors.
The surgery is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Friday. Please keep us in your thoughts. I hope he has an uneventful hospital stay and that we will be home in a week or so. We have to travel to Indy for the surgery, so I will be staying at the hospital then entire time. I'll post an update as soon as I get access to a computer.
Once again, knowing that you have had such a great experience really inspires us. Hopefully, Shawn will have a fast recovery as well.
Thanks for all of your advice and support. I am looking forward to contacting you soon to let you know that SHawn did great and we are on our way to putting this behind us!
Happy New Year! Steph
PS - Is there anything special I should take to the hospital that we may need? We will be about 2.5 hours away from home, so anything we don't have, we will either have to buy or do without. Thanks.
