Nephrectomy a go for March 1st
Hey there everyone - just a quick update to let you know that it looks like we are all set for Hyde's surgery on March 1st. The plan is for us to be admitted on Sunday, Feb. 28th and we don't have a set time yet but the scheduler said 'noonish' so it definitely won't be first thing in the morning :-(. Hyde's going to be THRILLED to not be able to eat and drink until then - oh well.
If you know anybody that's going to want to be updated on how everything's going Monday - have them get on this carepage - this is how we'll try to post updates once he goes back and as we get information.
The tentative plan is to try to do it laproscopically (to try to take advantage of the 90% chance they don't get near the peritoneum) but the surgeon will be able to switch mid-stream to an open procedure if anything makes him uncomfortable or if there are any problems.
Think that's it for now - Aunt Sarah and Uncle Warren are getting here Sat night and will be staying until Tuesday and Grandma and Papa Talbot will be getting here Sunday and staying 'until we don't need them anymore' ;-). The Tallant's are all here and lined up as well as multiple friends and neighbors as well as all the various church families we can claim ;-) - so we couldn't be more blessed by all the love and support we have.
We'll update everyone as we know more - in the meantime - just to leave you with the kind of character Hyde is - I told him this afternoon to go to timeout for something (can't honestly even remember what) and he said 'Mommy - can't we get a comfier bench?' Jeez louise!!!
Thanks againg - and keep the thoughts and prayers coming - especially next Monday!
Bill, Phyllis, Ruth, and Hyde

Well, I think he does deserve a comfy bench for time out. We'll all be thinking and praying for cutie pie Hyde. Hopefully, BP meds will soon be gone! Or at least decreased.
