Kinda scary

We are off too the cities again tomorrow, we leave around 9:30am, drive for 3 hours for a 30-45 min apt and then drive another 3 hours to get back home, yippie skippy so that means we wont be back until about 5:00 - 5:30pm YUCK I just love being gone for a whole day for one thing. And this time the reason is kinda scary too. Corb has to have a test on his Baclofen Pump, they will numb his skin over the pump and they have to stick a needle threw his skin into the machine and they are going to draw out the medication from the catheter (which is, what enters into his SPINE) if they can draw the med out smoothly all is good with the pump but.........!!!!!!!!! he can overdose when they go to put it back in if their not careful. An overdose of Baclofen can be life threating. That's when driving to the cities really is TOTALLY fine. He will be in a huge children's hospital just in case and they've done this a million and a half times.
