Well, all of the plans have been made, and we are flying out of Flagstaff this coming Monday, Nov. 9. We will be in San Antonio for 11 days. We have rented a vacation rental house to be comfortable while Elden is recovering. Jessica’s mom is traveling with us to help with Aspen and Tony will meet us out there on Wednesday. Thank God for the support of friends and family!
Here is our little guy. We got him this soft hat to wear after the surgery, and before the helmet. Here is our schedule for San Antonio
Monday, Nov 9: Fly into San Antonio, arrive by 2 pm. Head straight to the hospital for Pat to donate his blood to be a direct blood donor for Elden. There is a 10% chance Elden will need a blood transfusion during the surgery.
Tuesday, Nov 10: No appts this day! We will do something fun - maybe we’ll go to the zoo!
Wednesday, Nov 11:
10:00 am meeting regarding a study on craniosynostosis
11:30 Elden head scan at Star Cranial Center
1:00 PM. Appointment with the surgeon Dr. Jimenez. We will find out specifics of timing for the following week at this appt.
Thursday, Nov 12: SURGERY DAY! (time to come)
Friday, Nov 13: Anticipate discharge if medically stable. Recovery at the rental house over the weekend.
Monday, Nov 16: Head scan for helmet.

Dear Jessica and Pat, Thank you for the update and schedule for next week. We are sending love and prayers daily and will keep checking back for updates as you move through the week. What a sweet smile Elden has! We love his little hat! All our love...Jackie and John
