Jose's sclero has been delayed until Monday by Dr. Berenstein. His coagulation factor is not where they want it so they are giving him medication to help with that and will do the procedure on Monday. His surgery is now scheduled for Wednesday. Margaret is doing great and the new schedule will put them home over the weekend which works out great for their family. Jose will remain in PICU throughout the days in between procedures and after surgery until discharge. This is routine for all of Dr. Waner's AVM patients. No need to worry...this is a more relaxed side of PICU and very comfortable with private rooms painted in jungle themes. They are right next to the nurse's station so Margaret can slip out to shower and such. Scott leaves to come home Sunday.
This creates a much longer hospitalization for Jose...a week more than expected. The hospital has been wonderful about absorbing the increased cost that this involves for them financially.

Jody: thank you for the update. I've been following him with each one of your emails. It is exhilarating to see God's hand in your work...I find myself covered in goosebumps with every note from you. Big hug to Jose and all of the people involved in bringing his small life into the glory for which he is designed.
Blessings to all,
Carolina Fernandez
