Decisions Decisions

It has been an agonizing 24 hours. We have been trying to decide if we want to put the port a cath in tomorrow. It is such a tough decision. James and I really don't want to put James Thomas under general anesthesia because he is only seven months old. However, we don't want every transfusion to be painful and stressful either. Yesterday they were able to get the IV in with only one poke which was great. We gave him the numbing cream but he still screamed the whole time. I really don't like either of our options but we have to pick one. So, as of now we are going into surgery in the morning. We have to be there at 7:30 and his procedure will be at 9:30. They said it is quick and doesn't take too long. Please pray for the doctors and James Thomas tomorrow. Tomorrow can not come and go quick enough.
