Scheduling the Atresia Repair with Dr. Roberson

Scheduling the Canalplasty.  Starting in May 2010, I emailed Cheryl Medina (Dr. Roberson's Surgery Coordinator) our preferences for 2011 canalplasty.  Our first choice was in April around Spring Break, second was in January around Winter Break and third was at the beginning of the summer.  She said that we were #8 on the waiting list for 2011.  As time got closer, and through ongoing conversations with Cheryl Medina, we finally settled on a Canalplasty date of March 7, 2011, right after Ben's brother's birthday and a little bit before Spring Break so that he would have some time to recover in time for and during Spring Break.  Also, he'd have about three months to recover before surgery at the beginning of the summer.  In the end, as you'll see, we didn't end up doing surgery on March 7 - but fortunately, we live in LA, and that was OK!
