Did you get your tonsils removed?

Meet Brett (left) & Jack (right). These are two of my incredible nephews.

These two are having a tonsillectomy tomorrow. However, both boys inherited a blood clotting disorder from their mom...and unfortunately Brett doesn't respond to the blood clotting medicine (which they discovered after a series of ridiculous tests.)

Needless to say, Brett will likely have to have a platelet transfusion tomorrow after the surgery. There is also a chance he will need one 4 - 7 days after surgery, when the primary clot releases.

Keep these guys in your prayers. They were told they had to be in separate rooms after the surgery which they weren't too thrilled about...apparently Texas Childrens doesn't have double rooms, sad day. They're required to 'stay still' for 10 days, which could be an interesting task.
