Wake up Austin

Hey all,

First day of radiation went well. We did run into some trouble with NPO again. The clinic told me nothing past six hours for solids and four hours for milk and two hours for clear fluids. The anesthesiaologist said it is eight for food and six for milk. So the nurse told her that they told me wrong so we had to wait. We didn't really have to wait much. He was suppose to be back at 11:45am (and they were on time too) and they took him back around 12:20. So it wasn't bad. It took about an hour and he did wonderful!! He didn't wake up. The picture posted with the blog today is him wearing his longhorn winter cap to keep him warm during radiation. We were trying to wake him up. Telling him he is going to go see puppy still works. He went back to sleep and slept the whole way back. We pulled into Taco Cabana and he woke up. He ate and drank fine.

We go back to the clinic tomorrow. He will be the second one going in. He is scheduled for 12:30. I got the NPO instructions but I am not going to even mess with trying to feed him breakfast. After clinic we go to Dr. Patel's office for counts.

In the slide show pictures you will see him playing. We found the playroom which helps keep his mind off of food and milk. So we will go in there every day. He can run around and not bother anyone in there.

Thank you for all your prayers for our friend Max. His surgery went well. Please keep him in your prayers for pain management.

Chat with ya'll later!
