Yesterday morning appointments started with some blood work. Three pokes and a whole lot of tears later....we got blood! So sad to see her go through that, but the exciting thing we saw was her knowledge of the needle. First time I've heard her scream as she was watching the needle come to her arm.
We headed downstairs for an EKG and several X-rays to get a better picture of what's going on with her back.
Jess having her EKG
After lunch the nurse came back and told us that the lab needed more blood!! During her last operation, she had a blood transfusion which has now devoloped antibodies in her system. The lab now has to make sure that if she requires blood, that they are compatible.

Last thing on the list was the doctor's appointment. We only talked to the interns and signed a bunch of forms. they talked about the procedure that Jessica was going to have done. Loved the "KEY" words they were saying like slight adjustment, not as invasive! We won't get to see Dr. Ouellette until Tuesday morning prior to Jess going into surgery.
Today is RELAX day!!! Hopefully a little nap for miss J so that she can catch up on some well needed sleep.
The weekend will be catch up with some friends and family.
