Last week we had to go up to Kansas City for a long day of pre-operative tests and consults. Our day started very early in the morning so we headed up there the night before so that we wouldn't have to leave our house at 4 in the morning. After checking into our hotel (the Ronald McDonald House was full) we headed over to Legends to take Brinton to Build-a-Dino at the T-Rex Cafe. We wanted him to make a new 'Friendosaurus' to take with him to his appointments and surgery to give him strength when we couldn't be there. He chose a red brachiosaurus, named him REX, and dressed him in a SUPER DINO costume because Super Dino's are strong dino's and that's what he needed by his side. lol. Brinton is so cute.
The next day was a really long day with MRI's, EKGs, Blood tests, pulmonary function tests and a long consult with the orthopaedic surgeon. Everything is set for next Friday for surgery.
We arrive in Kansas City on November 9th for another round of Pre-op appointments and to meet with Hangar Orthotics which is the company that will be custom making his vest and halo orthoic which he will wear during and for about 3 months after surgery. It seems like it is an eternity away but the truth is it's only a week from today. *sigh* I'm sure I'll write more on that tomorrow.

Brinton is such a trooper! He'll be in our prayers for the next few weeks at least!
