Well, after talking with Dr. Gearhart last week we are going to go ahead and schedule Robbie's surgery to fix the imperferated anus and get rid of the colostomy bag first. Dr. Gearhart said to just go ahead and get this done and we will reschedule Robbie's evaluation for a later date in Baltimore. Now we are just waiting to hear back from the nurse in Cincinnati to tell us when we will be going out there. They said it can take 3 months to get a date for surgery so we don't know if it will be soon or after the new year. Saree and I are both really nervous about this surgery because of the risk of infection and all the added things that go into making a new poophole, but we both know that this will be the best thing for Robbie and make his life a lot easier in the future. We both have just gotten so used to the colostomy bag that it will feel odd to actually have to change a poopy diaper.
Robbie is still fighting a little congestion, but is doing great overall. He is getting bigger, even though he is a little guy compared to his cousins. He is constantly smiling and laughing, which makes being around him such a treat.
We are still waiting to see if we can get into our new house a little sooner than October 21st, but we are dealing with the bank now and they don't seem to be in too big of a rush.
