John Michael - Monday - Pre-op tests

We came to Charleston, SC to be with Julie & Tony & John while they are here for John's surgery to correct his congenital Scimitar Syndrome heart condition.

After checking in, John spent the first day being poked and prodded - blood test, x-ray, cat scan, echocardiogram.

Next, the plan was for us to entertain John while Julie & Tony conferred with doctors, nurses, technicians and toured the facilities where John would be cared for.

But John apparently reacted to the xray dye injection by spiking his temperature up to 104 degrees in the afternoon. So the surgeon had him admitted right then, so he could be monitored overnight.

Thankfully, his fever disappeared around 8PM and he was back to his normal happy self, so the surgery did not have to be rescheduled.
