Preparation for 2nd Laser Ablation Surgery

So, Cameron was three days or so shy of not having to take his Covid test, so last Saturday we made a quick turn-and-burn trip to the hospital to do that. Went fine and he’s negative of course.

Today, we made it down to Phoenix again to get ready for the big surgery. As is our tradition, we let Cameron pick dinner wherever he wanted and he chose Mimi’s Cafe.

We’re now at our hotel and chilling after the long trip down. He’s got an 8AM check-in for his 10AM procedure. It should go quickly. They will do a MRI first to calibrate their plan of attack to get to the two areas that the laser will be used on. Then he’ll go to the OR and they’ll make it happen. When he’s out of surgery, he’ll have about a 24-hour recovery period to make sure he’s OK, free of infection, and has all of his normal function (eat, pee, etc.).

Today was a rough day emotionally for everyone. Mandy was a little short and so was Cameron. That got me all riled up too and we ended up having some shouting matches. But it’s all better now and we’re unified going into tomorrow.

God has this. The surgical team has this. It’s out of our control and we have to let everyone do their jobs.
