Port Surgery Scheduled for October 7th

Lexx's port surgery is scheduled for October 7th!! I was hoping not to have to take him into the hospital again for quite a while, but since this is a scheduled appointment, it's not as bad. The surgery itself should only take about an hour, but with his SMA, they will be keeping him for a couple of days, just to make sure he's 100% before we go home for lockdown!! He will pretty much be under lockdown for the winter season, due to the flu and whatever else might be out there. Last year, he was only hospitalized once in the winter from a cold, and I would love it if we didn't have to go in at all this year. I'm glad that his surgery is scheduled for so soon, so we're not taking him in when the flu season is in full swing.
