I want a Brady Bunch Christmas...

So here is a little update:

Jacqui had her tests at the Pulmonary Lab on Wednesday.  They seemed to go well as she only had to have 3 out of the 4 tests (they only do the 4th if there are issues with the previous 3) - so that's good!  They will analyze and send the results to Dr. McFadden (he got a 4.8 out of 5 on "rate your doctor" by the way) and we'll hear at some point I guess. 

Now the next steps are - on Wednesday she has a "phone" appointment with a nurse and then on the following Monday (the 10th) she has an 2-3 hour assessment appointment - both are part of the pre-admissions process.

That's kind of good and not so good, the good is that steps are being taken, but it doesn't look like she'll be able to get her surgery in with enough time to be home from the hospital for Christmas - we don't want her to have to be there for Christmas Day. We would have liked to start the year off with this behind us!  Anyways....

This is my Christmas wish - that the surgery would be done, she would recover well so that her 8-10 day hospital stay isn't extended for any reason and then is home in time for Christmas Eve - wouldn't that be heartwarming - kind of like when Mrs. Brady gets laryngitis and gets her voice back just in time to sing in church on Christmas Eve (Brady Bunch Christmas 1969).  Oh 60's sitcoms, everything always turned out just right!!!
