Fionn's Feet: Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a lovely Easter. The Easter bunny stopped by our place and left us some eggs to hunt. Fionn had a fun time gathering the eggs in his basket. We had a hardy breakfast and then went to the Experimental farm with my sister and nephew, Dylan. They boys had tons of fun seeing all the animals. They saw some sheep and lambs, horses, cows and calves, baby chicks, bunnies, goats, and some very large pigs! We spent the afternoon with my cousin and then had a delicious dinner at my aunt and uncle's place.

Pretty much the moment I published my last post, the hospital called me to let me know what time Fionn's surgery is going to be, where and what time we had to be there, and that to make sure he fasted. At least he can have dinner and nothing else until after his surgery. I've been crossing my fingers that we got an early surgery so he wouldn't have to starve for that long. When she told me his surgery would be at 9am I did a little happy dance. Then she said we had to be at the hospital at 7am and my happy dance slowed down a little. I'm not complaining. Really I'm not... just not a early morning person. I am thrilled that he will be one of the first surgeries of the day, if not the first. So our morning will look something like this: I'm thinking if I have everything prepared and ready the night before we can do okay by waking up at 5:30 and maybe afford one tap of the snooze button. In fact, as I write this, I just realized that we can't eat breakfast so we can probably just wake up at 6am, which gives us plenty of time to get dressed, make a coffee to go for mommy, and jump in the car. With no traffic, it's really only a 10-15 minute drive to the hospital from our place. So this way there's no rush and less stress.

Tomorrow will be my prep day. So laundry, tidying up, making sure the cats have plenty of food, water and a clean litter box, enough to survive 2 days without us. I'm going to give fionn a quick hair cut and sponge bath. Going to pack our hospital bag for our overnight stay and load it in the car so I don't have to worry about it wednesday morning. Then I put Fionn to bed, I'll probably have a nice relaxing bath to help settle my nerves and go to bed early. I've got some pretty wicked butterflies in my stomach right now. 40 hours until his surgery... yes I broke it down into hours.
