Thank you for your thoughts and advice, it is truly appreciated. And to all of those who talked with me in chat about a week and a half ago (you know who you are) I can't express enough gratitude. It has been tough leading up until now but having people to talk it out with is always a blessing.

The surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:45am. I was able to spend a little time with Landon yesterday before they (my GF, Landon's Mom, their dad and grandma, and of course, Landon) took the 3 hour drive to where the procedure will be performed. He was a grumpy goose but it was late and he was tired. It doesn't help that his mom and dad are in the middle of separating and constantly fighting around him too.

But all we can do now is wait. He is a strong little dude, I'm sure he'll be fine.
