Since our wake up call wasn't near as early because of no surgery, Robbie was able to sleep until about 8:00 this morning. We were told that Dr. Gearhart would get in touch with us around noon, so we just hung around the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) all morning. About 11:30 Dr. Gearhart called and gave us great news, we go to see him tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. for him to check Robbie's diaper rash. If the rash is better, and it has looked a lot better today, he can get us in for surgery on Friday this week. We were blown away that he was able to make this happen so soon and now just have to pray that the rash has subsided enough for him to okay the surgery.
After we got that good news we decided to venture out in Baltimore and find a Target and a place to eat lunch. We found a spot about 10 miles away from us and had a nice meal. On the way back to the RMH Robbie fell asleep so we decided to drive around so he could get a nap in for the day. Our drive took us down a Highway 40 West from downtown Baltimore. If you are ever in the Baltimore and want to see the sights DO NOT go down Highway 40 West from downtown. I have driven in some areas where I have been uncomfortable before when I was recruiting, but this one took the cake. Let me just say that we felt like the Griswold's in East St. Louis asking for directions for the interstate. If our windows weren't already up I would have used Clark Griswold's line, "Roll'em up" after he hears the gun shot. After our little outing we got caught in one of the heaviest downpours of rain I have seen in a long time. Even when we were stopped at a light, you still couldn't hardly see the car just in front of you.
Our evening was a lot more peaceful, we just had dinner here at the RMH and got Robbie a bath and laid him down early because he was so tired. Tomorrow will be a big day in how our trip goes and we just really hope that the rash is dried up enough for the surgery to happen so we don't have to have the surgery once school starts and we miss any more days than we already will.
