So Ben did not have his surgery today. He did the whole colonoscopy prep yesterday, which was sad for him, and then today he went down, checked in at 6:30 am, and the dr's said he was too sick to have the procedure. They did a chest x-ray and he has pneumonia. Thankfully, so far, it's not a bad case because he's being his same cute, smiley self. He's home now with another new med and is taking a nap with Cody. I have mixed feelings. I really wanted to get the biopsies and see what is going on inside his body, so we would know what treatments to start and we can get that going. But of course, if it's not safe to do anesthesia because his lungs are sick, I wouldn't want anything to happen to him either. It's also hard because I couldn't go to the hospital with him today, Cody had to take him by himself, which has NEVER happened. I am rarely ill myself, but have been quarantined with a yucky stomach flu for the last two days. I was sad not to be there with Ben, that was hard for me to not know what was going on, to not be able to talk to the dr's and give my input, and especially to hold and comfort Ben. Of course, he was totally fine with Cody. Cody's a wonderful dad! I've just never not been there. I think we will try again for the surgery sometime next week. They will call us to schedule. Darn it. Poor Benny. Thanks for the prayers for him. :)
