CT Scan

Andrew's CT scan is scheduled for Wednesday, February 20th at 8 am. I'm already looking forward to the traffic nightmare I will face trying to get over there. For those of you not familiar with Atlanta, 285 is the interstate that goes around Atlanta like a circle. If you think of it as a clock, we live at about two o'clock. The Children's Hospital is at 12 o'clock. The area between 10 and two has some of the worst traffic in the whole city. It'll probably take me an hour to get there. Oh well, hopefully I won't have a screaming baby in the car. We won't be allowed to feed him in the morning, since he's not allowed to have anything to eat six hours prior to the procedure because of the sedation.

After the CT scan, we will go over to the doctor's office which is right on the same complex and go over the results. It'll probably be at that time that we schedule a surgery date or at least get an idea as to when surgery will occur. The doctor wanted to wait until Andrew was at least three months old before even thinking about surgery. He likes to do the surgery between three and six months. I'm hoping that we will be able to wait until the end of May so that I'm out of school.

More updates soon!
