Never mind... AGAIN!

Here we go again! I got a call from the hospital early this morning saying they need to reschedule Kirsten's surgery yet again. Must be something about this particular laser they use on her procedure, because there's a problem with it & they're sending it out again for repair/maintenance. On the message they said we can do it next Tuesday, but that's the day Kirsten starts first grade, so it'd be an automatic "no" from us. When I called back to talk to them about it, they said it wouldn't be back in time for next week, and they'd like to schedule her first thing the following Tuesday. I told her we can't. Kirsten will just be adjusting to a new school & new schedule - we'll just have to wait. Maybe during Christmas break, maybe during Spring break, but not now. She said that as soon as we decide, to give her a call back & she'll make sure Kirsten's the first surgery that day (the doctor told her to do so - he feels so bad about rescheduling this again). I told her I'd be in touch.

So... we'll just have to wait and see. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. For now, I'll just let her be a "normal" first-grader and have fun being the 7-year old that she is!

By the way - if we would've rescheduled for two weeks, that would fall on 9/11. Kirsten's first surgery ever on her nose was 9/11/01! Interesting!

(Thanks again for all the prayers and well-wishes. I just feel so silly with all the ups & downs about this! Ugh!)
