please let it be tomorrow

good evening,
All systems are go for the morning, Oscar should be called for around 7.30am. Meet with his new surgeon this afternoon, his name is John and he's from NYC, studied at Columbia University and now calls Auckland home. He was a great pains to tell us that it is a real honour to work here as part of the Greenlane Hospital Cardiology Services (which is now based at Auckland Hospital, but much of the pionnering heart transplant work etc happened out of Greenlane). It has the highest international reputation and is one of THE places a cardiac surgeon wants to work in the world. Aren't we lucky!

I'm just dog tired tonight and was really over it all today, but I've come home tonight and left Brennan and Oscar in our other home at Ward 23B. It's nice to be here with a glass of wine knowing that no one is going to burst through the door to my room all night long.

We are well practised at this getting ready for surgery gig now, but to be honest I'm not feeling too flash about it tonight... a good nights sleep should sort me out though and we look forward to letting you know that it's all taken place some time tomorrow afternoon.

ps Oscar now weighs 5.12kg, he put on 70g yesterday and 50g today... he's starting to look cubby and it's delightful.
