getting ready

Well, this week is going to be busy. I start the new semester tomorrow, and we also have our next round of Dr appointments. First, Eve has a Resting Metabolic Rate test on Tuesday morning. She can't eat or drink anything (other than water) that morning and then they hook her up to an EKG and monitor her breathing/oxygen. This will tell them her minimum caloric requirements for resting. Then we have the appointment with Dr. Shoffner. The next day is the biopsy. It'll will be done under general anesthesia and it will be a very long day. Eve will have an incision of up to 2 inches on the middle of her thigh. They recommend that she does not go to daycare the next day because she will be "out of sorts." Fortunately, Jim's parents are coming out to help out. This way I can go to work and if she's really out of sorts, there will be lots of hands to keep her occupied and distracted.
