Lexx's Port/IVAD surgery on hold

Well, I think we are on day 6 of Lexx's current cold and we are still on full treatments (chest physio and cough assist) every three hours (Q3), even through the night and coughing him almost every half hour. It makes for a very busy day, but at least we're still home and not in the ICU in Calgary. Not that we don't love the nurses, docs and staff there, but it is so much nicer to be at home. Especially for little Ayva, to be around all of her own things and family and not locked up in a hospital room. Ayva still has a cough, but she seems to be getting better slowly as well. I'm hoping that a couple more days of Q3 treatments and we can back down to maybe Q4.

Lexx is supposed to be having his surgery for his port/IVAD a week from today, but with him being as sick as he is now, I'm going to have to cancel his surgery and postpone it to a time when he's been healthy for at least a week before hand. Putting him under general anesthetic now would just set him up for failure and the possibility of a longer intubation period after the surgery. And that's a risk that we're not willing to take. So, for now, we'll have to postpone it until he's healthy again.
