(Originally posted 08-20-10) Sooooooooooo, we got all the way to Louisville, after a 2.5 hour drive. We arrived at 3:30 am, slept for 3 hours on my sister's couch and got up bright and early to go to the hospital. Kennedy had been weighed, measured, on monitors, and family in place when the anesthesiologist came in and announced that the surgery would not be happening. Yeah, that's right NO SURGERY!! Apparently they have a policy of waiting 2 weeks after a respiratory infection before they will conduct any type of surgery. Kennedy was hospitalized for a respiratory infection 1 week ago and she still had a small cough. So, NO SURGERY! It was funny because they asked my husband how long Kennedy's had the cough and he replied, "all her life".
We were informed that we would have to do this whole production all over again in 3 weeks. Pack 6 people for 4 days. Take off work. Get sitters for the other children. Make reservations at the Ronald McDonald House. Have family come from Madisonville & Indianapolis. Reschedule meetings all over again in 3 weeks. No problem we said (actually we didn't, we fussed, then complied).
So, our journey continues on Sept. 9th. Thanks for all the messages, emails, text messages, calls, and prayers from you all.
Love you guys,
The Price Family
