Johns Hopkins called and gave us the schedule for Ricki's surgeries... She will be admitted to the hospital on Friday the 25th and have a 2 hour surgery for the embolization of some of the arteries. This will prepare her for the main surgery on the 28th.
Yesterday we went to Dr Randall at Primary Children's Hospital and he will be taking over Ricki's care when we return home from the surgery. He could have done the surgery for us and there is no doubt he would have done a great job but it was assuring to me when he told me that if he had a daughter with NF2 he would be taking her to Johns Hopkins.
Now that the date is set we get to figure put plane tickets, place to stay, and all those details....But of course we have to add some fun. The fun keeps our minds occupied with things of a lighter nature. So Ricki has a to do list,.. Decide on a theme, make a few decorations for her hospital room, get some fun pjs and socks, make a pillow case, and do something fun with her hair and get her nails done before surgery.
