....................Boston day #1

Phew........what a day. We started off at the hospital at 8 am for preop appointment. Then at 10 we went to Orthopedics for a appointment there. It was there we were told Zach may not have surgery. His labs came back abnormal and his clotting factors weren't good. Which meant a couple of things: he can't have surgery because he could bleed out, or they could give him a shot of Vitamin K and redraw and hope they get better. So first they decided to just do a redraw then go from there. Well thank god because it came back ok after that. They are thinking it was a bad vial or something that caused it to come back abnormal. It was a rough morning for Zach because it was taking so long and he just wanted to get to the childrens museum. Finally we got to the museum around 1:45. We spent about 1 1/2 hr there because it was so crowded and Zach was just not up to waiting his turn for everything. Luckily we only had to pay for 1 admission instead of all 3. The hospital gave us 2 complimentary tickets.

Once we got back we sat in the tv area and met a real nice lady & her daughter. They are from Albany orginally but living in Japan d/t husband being in the air force. We chatted for many hours then went to dinner with them. Then we came back exchanged FB and showed pictures and shared some great stories & traveling experiences. It was nice to be able to talk to adults while the kids played then off to bed for Zach early.

Well I need to go get some shut eye since we have to be at the hospital at 7 am for his admission in the am. So up and at 'em early in the am. Looking forward to the in laws & Marissa coming out on Friday & Saturday. Possibly a friend of Zach's on Thursday if he is feeling better. This time around we don't feel so alone and thats a great feeling. I really like this dorm style living while we are here because the friendships we have made already are great. And to know we are not alone with having a child with some medical issues makes it a little easier too.
