I am so very happy to report that we are at the end of our journey and that the long and winding road led us to where Shira is suppose to have her surgery. We met with Dr Gary Tie at VCU today and we all felt extremely comfortable with him. He has scheduled Shira's TC for Thursday Oct 4. He has connected her with a hematologist and pediatrician. She will be in the ICU the first night post surgery and will have to lay flat for 3 days. He then will want to do a 2 week post op appointment, so Shira and I will be here for a few more weeks. Mike will fly home tomorrow and come back on Oct 3.
Shira has an MRI tomorrow afternoon and if she doesn't have any Dr appointments on Friday, I am thinking of driving to Colonial Williamsburg and stay overnight. The Portner Family, who Shira has adopted as her East Coast Family, may drive to Richmond Sat evening to hang out with us. Shira and the Portner boys will go to the science museum on Sunday.
If anyone has suggestions on fun things to do in Virginia, let us know.
Hugs
Barbara
