The surgery was on September 13th, 2021.
With COVID, a new job & a divorced single mom, blogging has been on the back burner. The only way I can document and remember all the surgeries are to blog them.
I am also forever grateful for the technology PicnicHealth that stores all my medical records from every healthcare portal in one location. I am thankful to CC4C children's charity that pays for the annual subscription to the service and other medical costs not covered by insurance. This charity is the single biggest resource we have ever been blessed by!
Now that I use PicnicHealth, the cost is a fraction of the time to request, collect, organize and develop a system of records management as well as the cost per page to request from each institution to access our own data. For most families like ours, the cost is unattainable and most families are not willing to spend on a luxury like technology.
This necessary technology creates peace of mind and feels like a luxury to have 13 years of complete medical records, labs, and images at my fingertips.
I am not paid by this company but I am one of their biggest fans and have seen the growth and benefits of their tech.
OK...back to the surgery story, we are so grateful for a home health nurse, Christine Elliott. Not only for her clinically caring for my son, but for organizing a car parade for him before his big surgery.
He had an amazing surprise 🤯when he got home although he was a bit groggy and in pain.
His home health nurse😇, Christine Elliott, orchestrated a surprise wonderful dream car SWAG distraction. He & I had no idea she had dreamed this 💡up and followed it through. (please share this with those that made this happen)
The best of humanity shows up doing good without recognition. Thank you to the anonymous strangers from all over the country who blew my mind and touched my heart for my guy. Having this surprise sped 🏁up the healing💪🙄.
He still has 5 more weeks of recovery from his orthopedic surgery but should be able to return to school next week. I have also had the support from my youngest sister, Julia Hanna, to help me as he requires a 3 person transfer into his wheelchair and bed💪💪💪.

Lastly, for my absence of a post for all of 2021, Hayden has been the poster child for Dell Children's Hosptial on their TV commercials, all social media and their Foundations Virtual Gala.
