On Monday, I got the call I've been dreading, the one I've been hopefully anticipating.
Cathal has his date for surgery.
He is scheduled for his full heart repair on Monday the 9th of March, the day before his first birthday.
Any one fancy a party in ICU?

What terrible timing, but it will be wonderful to have it over and done with. Wishing him and you all the best, we will be thinking of you :)
I'll bring the cake. Has any one a nice candle?
His 1st year ends as it started, in Crumlin Hospital... and the present of a lovely newly repaired heart for the next 99 years.

Hey buddy, hope it all goes well for you and we'll all be waiting for a big party when you get out. Looking forward to lots of playtime soon.

We will be sending prayers and birthday wishes Cathal's way from California! I think a patched up heart is a actually a great present...for all of you :). I will check your blog for updates...I know how nerve wracking and anxious this time can be.
A bit of advice I have...you may have already thought of this, but we took pictures of our son Reid's chest "before" surgery and then an "after" so we had his chest documented in pictures before he got his "cool" tough guy scar.
Also, I wasn't a fan of the hospital gown for him post surgery so I brought his pj's to the hospital that had bottoms and a pj top that buttoned so all the wires could be navigated through.
Please feel free to email me at tlcforeman@verizon.net if you just want to commiserate with another mom who's little one also has a "dodgy" heart...actually I don't even know what "dodgy" means :) but I assume the description fits Reid's heart too. :)
Best wishes...Cathal will do great! :)
