1st laser surgery booked for next week!

Brayden will be having his 1st laser treatment on his satelite nevus next week on Thursday morning.  We will have to go to the Phoenix Childern Hosptial to check in at 6 am....this is going to be a very early morning for us. I'm sure Geoffrey & I will be tired, since the day before we have to leave at 4 am to go to Mexico.  We will just go to Mexico for the day, to go to the dentist.  I'm excited to have some yummy Mexican food and shop for a new purse! Not excited about getting fillings :( 

Brayden will have to stop eating formula at 1:30 am and he can have apple juice until 5:30 am.  I will make sure I wake him up at 5:00 am to feed him before we go.  His surgery will start at 7:30 and he will be put under.  Otherwise, he won't be able to sit still while they do the laser treatments....even though he is such a good baby, I doubt he would sit still when he's awake for that ;)

The actual surgery for the laser only takes around 30 minutes. So not too bad.  Geoffrey & I will both be waiting in the waiting room until he is finished.  Then mommy will go to work for the rest of the day and daddy will cuddle with Brayden all day :)

Next week after his laser treatment, I will post before and after pictures so everyone can have a better idea what we are talking about and see the results.  This will be a work in progress and it may take up to 4-6 treatments and you have to wait 2 months between each treatment to let the skin heal. 

We are happy to be starting the long process. We know, someday when Brayden is older, he will appreciate everything that we are doing for him right now.  Please keep all of us in your prayers next week, as baby Brayden will have his 1st round of treatments!
