Stockton was cleared for surgery this morning. He had a rough time when they started drawing labs. It was hard. Surgery starts at 8:15am tomorrow and we will be there at 7am. We had a pre-op appointment today at TCH. We arrived at 8am this morning. Stockton has been in good spirits but still wants to go home. We had a good nights sleep and our plane ride was smooth. Stockton had to have blood work, a chest x-ray, an EKG, 4 blood pressures and a normal exam. We were seen by anesthesia, cardiology, child life, the lab and a medical assistant that performed his EKG and vitals. His ears looked good, his throat looks well, his labs and urine looked great and his heart looks and sounds good. We are just praying that nothing pops up in the next 18 hours so we can go ahead with surgery. We just ate lunch and took a two hour nap. We were suppose to be at the hospital all day but they were able to get us out at 11:30am. Stockton is still sleeping after a very crazy morning. He hard a really hard time when they drew his labs this morning. Seth had to hold him tight while I made him stare into my eyes so that he wouldn't move and I could calm him down. He just screamed and cried. It broke our hearts. Seth and I are feeling good. We facetimed with the kids last night and Stockton just loved it. Tylee was making funny faces and Merrick just kept saying Hi. We are going to soak up all of Stockton's love and affection tonight as we head in to tomorrow. Please keep praying that he will be strong and feel comfort. Please pray that Seth and I will be calm and feel the love of Christ. Please pray that our surgeon and medical team are prepared and make smart decisions. Lastly, please pray that Stockton's body remains healthy and that his body cooperates with the new circulation he will have. Thanks again for your prayers. We feel them and we are comforted by them. Don't forget to wear RED tomorrow! #SuperStocktonThursday, August 6, 2015
