What's up?

Well as I have not been the greatest blogger since I was getting up really early and needing to sleep earlier it is now time to play catch up.

Rhett went in for his follow-up with Dr. Uchida who is the pulmonary doctor.  We had to have the PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to see what has happened and to help determine if he is going to have surgery this spring.  Well the test did say that it had improved just slightly.  The doctor thinks that if they don't do the surgery then it will drop.  Meaning by doing the surgeries we are maintaining the currant area for his Pulmonary Function.  With all than being said I did ask him if he would do it if they were going to be as aggressive as they were the last surgery.  He said that would be something that only we could decide.

Talked it over with my husband letting him know what the doctor had told me about the PFT results and what he would do.  He thinks we should go ahead and do the surgery this spring but make sure that the doctor know that he cannot be super aggressive like he was last time.  That was my two cents about the being aggressive.  I refuse to have Rhett go through that again.  So after we had come to this conclusion I talked with Rhett about it.  I told him that the doctors think that this will be a good thing for him.  He then in turn asked me if I thought it was a good thing and I told him that daddy thought it was a good thing.  Smart little boy didn't give up his question.  He then again asked me if I thought it was a good idea.  I told him that I wasn't sure, but I wanted to know what he wanted to do and if he thought it is a good idea.

He asked me if they were going to bruise him like last time.  I told him no.  Than I told him that we are going to tell the doctor that this is not going to be this way and if they do make it like last time then he will never have to have a surgery again in him life.  Since I am not going to purposefully put my child through that over and over again.  He agreed to have the surgery reluctantly.  He doesn't want to have to go though the same thing that he did last time.  I wonder if he is more nervous about this coming surgery than he has been  for previous ones.  I don't blame him since they did that last time.
