Back at UCSF

We're back at the hospital and checked into a room on 6 Long. Sadly it's the same room none of us were able to sleep in two years ago before Riley's Glenn procedure. It's a 3-patient room right next to the nurses' station. We asked to be moved, but we're not optimistic it will happen. On a good note, the nurse indicated we might be able to go home tonight and come back early tomorrow for Riley's surgery. Suzanne spent many aggravating hours a few weeks ago on the phone with Kaiser trying to make this happen, but red tape got the better of us.

Riley will have blood drawn, a chest x-ray and an EKG. No echo is currently ordered, so we might not need that. We just hung out for a half hour or so in the child life room, Riley was in heaven when he saw their giant box of Matchbox cars. He picked out three favorites and took them back to his room.

Suzanne's Mom and my Dad are here, my Mom is flying in this evening. More updates as they happen. Keep your fingers crossed that we can all sleep in our own beds tonight and that surgery will happen as scheduled tomorrow.
