Surgery Preparation

Today we spent the day at the Scottish Rite Hospital making sure Parker was cleared for surgery.  We met with his surgeon, anesthesiologist, pharmacist, dietitian, operating room nurse, regular nurse, occupational therapist, regular therapist, child life specialist, and physical therapist.  ...busy day!  The physical therapist gave us a tour of the gyms that Parker will have therapy in when he receives his prosthetic.  We continue to be blown away by everyone at the Scottish Rite, what a great place!

Here is what we do for fun with the curtain around the bed while waiting for our next visitor:

Parker had a great time enjoying the big bed in his room.  As soon as we put him on the bed he crawled  over to the pillow and laid down then crawled to the other end and then crawled back to the pillow...over and over....and over and over...

 Wake up Daddy, it's my bed!

Here I'll just fill out my own paperwork:

After we met with everyone we decided to come on home so we could have dinner with the whole family.  We enjoyed dinner, bath playtime and a little wrestling with Kirby (the dog).  Now we are headed back to the hospital for the night.  Parker's surgery is tomorrow morning first thing and should only last about 1 hour.
