Primary Childrens soon to be our home away from home

 Yesterday Taylor had two separate visits to Primary Children's Medical Center. First Taylor and I went to the Riverton Campus (our first time there), where she had an ultrasound done on her legs. Basically they were checking for good circulation, blood clots, and a good place to input the heart lung bypass machine during her surgery. This was a HUGE problem last time, so I am happy that they are taking every measure possible to ensure a great surgery.

It was so funny the Dr's were so excited to see T's veins. They kept saying "You take great pictures!", "Your veins and arteries are amazing!", "I wish everybody looked as good as you do!!!" It was so funny even the residents came in :)! From my many experiences with T there are only 3 times when many Dr's/nurses/residents congregate around a child. Either something looks remarkably good, or something looks very bad, or there is something they can't explain (Taylor!)

Then the whole fam damily headed to Primary Children's Hospital in SLC. We went to a presurgery class where they showed a video, let the kids touch and feel all sorts of equipment used in surgery and throughout their stay. There were all sorts of other kids who would be having surgery. They passed out medical buddies where they could practice using the equipment. Then we went on a tour of the hospital, operating rooms. recovery rooms. ICU...

It was a good experience and I'm sure it prepared all the kids a little as to what is to come. Skyler even came home today saying she wants to be a nurse! So if all goes according to the girls plan Taylor will be a Cardiologist and Skyler will be a nurse!

I know Taylor is going to do great. She is an amazing girl full of faith and hope. She is also a fighter a survivor and a perfectionist. So bring it on she can come out stronger, healthier, and faster in the end!!!
