Hello everyone,

We are in Edmonton and getting ready for Ava’s surgery tomorrow at the Stollery. She’s booked to get dental surgery done. She has about 7-8 cavities that need filled and caps on. She will be put under general anesthetic on Wednesday and we have a consult with the Pre-admission clinic with the Anesthesiologist this afternoon. We will go over Avas complex medical history. Unfortunately this is nothing new to her, or Landon and I. One thing that will be different is with COVID, only one of us can be in the surgery ward and OR waiting room. We were thankful with all of Avas previous surgeries that both us parents could be there as support for her and each other. We will do our best tomorrow🙏🏼

We are so happy to finally get her teeth fixed, she’s developed these cavities from her many surgeries in and out of hospital. Digeorges Syndrome also has deficiency in calcium which is linked. The dentist is hopefully we can fix her baby teeth and sustain till her adult teeth.

The plan is for us to take her home in the evening after her surgery 🙏🏼 this is our first day surgery and looking forward to cuddle in our own bed. This is Avas 7th surgery.. and she’s 3.5 years old. We will collect our Stollery treasure beads and add it to our keepsake ❤️. Keep her in your thoughts tomorrow. Will keep you all posted .
