They gave him a two hour window and will allow for three if they know in advance that he will be out of town. Agreed he may be better for after his procedure. He has had two false alarms so far. Two weekends ago his family said goodbye to him and left him for surgery only to find out 30 minutes later the lungs were not going to be a good fit after all. It is an emotional roller coaster for them. My wife and I had them over last weekend for dinner. He is in fourth grade just like my oldest son, his lungs are only operating at 25 percent right now.
He has a younger brother that is a year older than my youngest son and they were all jumping on the trampoline last weekend when they had to go get the older son because he got to excited and couldn't breath.
That was when I realized what a real ***** I am. I scream at my kids when they don't make every play on the baseball and football field, make them spend two hours a day practicing and here is a kid that can't even jump on a trampoline.
