Surgery Date?
Lynnea tolerated her pre-op exam as well as can be expected (much screaming ensued during the chest X-ray, blood draw, and physical examination, but she managed to sleep through most of her echocardiogram, so I guess it was a good day). Dr. St. Louis was not available to do her exam, so his new partner, Dr. Bryant, saw us instead. It turns out that Lynnea has an ear infection, which was not really a surprise (our nurse, Michelle, had called both our pediatrician and the cardiology team about this last Monday, but our pediatrician was out of town, and apparently the message was never passed on to anyone of importance on the cardiology team). Also, Lynnea still has a runny nose and signs of a cold. So, Bryant started her on a course of Amoxicillan, and said that he would talk to St. Louis about the surgery date. Bryant wasn't sure whether St. Louis would want to push the surgery date back to Jan. 19 instead of doing it on Jan. 12. We were supposed to be notified one way or another after they decided, but no one bothered to call us about it yesterday. We called and left messages with St. Louis' office, but still haven't heard from them.
