Number 30

So while Scott and I were waiting for the nurse to take him back to the operating room to remove his gallbladder, we started counting all the surgeries that our family has had. If our calculations are correct this will be number 30 between the five of us. I was hoping to take his mind off the surgery because he was so nervous but I don't think it worked.

Scott: Tonsils + repair on his arm when shot + gallbladder = 3

Tammy: Tonsils + wisdom teeth + two c-sections = 4

Brandon: Ventriculostomy + shunt placement + hernia + two eye surgeries + tonsils + three leg surgeries + three shunt replacements = 12

Kacie: Two port placements + dialysis PD catheter placement + scope on stomach + kidney transplant + removal of dialysis PD catheter = 6

Brady: Tonsils & tubes + dialysis PD catheter placement + removal + two hospital stays for teeth = 5

So Scott was wondering why I wasn't nervous for him and I told him this is why...look at how many of these surgeries we have gone through.

...So I was right, I just talked to Dr. Roman Babij, M.D. at 9:50 am and everything went just fine. He should be able to go home today unless he gets really nauseated.
