A date, a date, we have a date!! Finally!!

So, today after calling a few times since I last posted, almost a month ago now, and after a long weekend where we travelled to Niagara Falls and marineland for a family vacation, I got the call I was waiting for!!  Sick Kids called, as soon as the phone rang I knew who it was and ran.  The doctor wants to see Nicholas next Monday, the 17th of August. 

He needs to have an ultrasound first, have the radiologist look at the pictures and then see Dr. Koyle after that.  Okay, that is the first step, so many questions still loom over my head.  I'm relieved, to a point, that I know what the next step is but I'm still unsure and nervous of the step after that, and the time frame for that!  and I'm sure that that is all part of the questions I still have.

Now I think I'm more scared, and apparently crying because of it, that my Nicholas has to have a second procedure on his kidney/urinary tract and knowing that this could have been caught when he was a baby.  But then again who says that wouldn't have happened then.  I'm more upset that we haven't been able to say we are done with trips to Toronto, every time I start thinking that's it we are done, a couple weeks later, oh you need to go back.  Where Lucas is now done unless we (or he) thinks he needs to go back, but for Nicholas we are still uncertain, even thought we have ONE date!!  

I Love these boys with all my heart and soul.

Next thing is that we had to look and see what we could afford to travel to Toronto.  when looking into it, a flight was going to cost us $1028 and to drive and stay a night would be around $300 not a hard decision to make and hopefully we can have more of an advance notice for another date for Nicholas and to see what will be done, mainly to have the availability to fly down as it is a much nicer way to travel to Toronto for quick visits for follow-ups.
