Evie Update - Day 1

As I mentioned Friday, Evie is scheduled to have an angiogram tomorrow at 7:30am. Her doctors decided to admit her today to give her a pre-treatment medication to help protect her kidneys from the dye used in the procedure. It is just a precaution - her nephrologist told me he would rather be proactive then reactive.

Right now we are waiting for a phone call from the "bed board." Yes, that is what it's called - the group who monitors which child is in which bed on which floor of the hospital. When they have a bed available, they will call us and Francis will take Evie over to Hope while I stay here with Gavin.



Here are some pictures from last weekend, when we got to see both Uncle David and Uncle Brad. We went to a new (for us) park that we discovered while we were exploring one day. It's shady and the kids love it!

Evie held Uncle Brad's hand:






This park has a neat teeter-totter that doesn't required two kids in order to work:



















***Update 3:40pm - We got the phone call that a bed is ready, so Francis and Evie are headed over to Hope right now. We will post updates tomorrow.

That sounds kind of nerve-wrecking! Did everything go okay?

As always, Evie and your family is in my prayers. I will also give the "Rosary Ladies" and update so they can say some extra special prayers.
