Love the idea of admitting him the night before! That should make things flow so much easier. Best of luck!

Isn't waiting always the hardest part....

Best of luck with the LTP. Those first sounds are something I will ALWAYS remember. That and the giggles down the hall from the girls getting in trouble, he he).
Hoping and praying that things go smoothly and he is home soon. (Did Dr. White train in Cinci by chance? If so, I know who he is...good MD!)

Yep! That's him! He came back to his hometown of Charleston and is now Assistant professor of Pediatric Otolaryngology and modeled his Airway and Aspiration clinic after Cinci. He also calls Dr. Cotton if he wants a second opinion about Tommy. I have the best of both worlds. He also did his residency at UNC Chapel Hill in NC.
