We had day hospital today. It was a rough day for Avigayil (every time she turned around someone was taking blood or sticking a tube in her or holding her down for some test), but we got through it. The good news is that she is doing well and aside from her anemia she is ready for surgery. The bad news is they decided to push off the surgery until after they can do a CT. She is scheduled to have the CT on February 16th. It will also be under general anesthesia. If she is tolerating the anesthesia well they may do a broncoscopy at the same time. After that she will have the surgery, but we don't know yet when that will be.
The hard part now is keeping her healthy until the CT and surgery. We will have to be even more vigilant then we already are. The doctor called it giving her the "plastic bubble treatment". This is not easy with 4 other kids, not to mention 3 grandparents coming within the next week. IY"H (please G-d) we will be able to keep her healthy long enough to get through the next few weeks and everything will be behind us.
