Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks :-) We're hoping Tom adjusts quickly. He's just starting to crawl so we know it will be frustrating for him at first. He's such a happy little guy and that's what makes it hard on his dad & I. But his smiles will be what get us through. He's got three teeth breaking through at once right now too, it will be an interesting week. We just got our preop packet in the mail today, preop physical is tomorrow. CCHMC is nothing short of awesome (Tom was there twice last summer for some inpatient stays) so we're confident he'll be fine. I'm really glad I found you guys though. > > Welcome to CAST!
