As you likely already know, Gavin was scheduled for surgery at Akron Children's Hospital yesterday. Everything went as planned but we ran into a problem. I summed everything up in the video below because it was easier to talk about it than try to explain in writing.
I'll quickly explain what happened before leaving you to the video for the details.
Gavin's surgery was canceled at the very last minute and I mean that literally. He was just about to go into surgery when two issues came up. One was workable but one of them led to everything being canceled.
The first issue was legal but more of an ethical concern than a legal one. While this did come up and I share this in the spirit of honesty, it's NOT the reason surgery was canceled. We worked with legal on this and all we need to do is provide them with paperwork, showing submitted the application for guardianship to the courts. That's not a problem.
The reason the surgery was canceled for a potentially life-threatening health issue.
Finally, before I leave you to the video below, I want to say how much I truly appreciate Akron Children's Hospital. They have never let us down and while this was a unique situation, everyone worked together to ensure Gavin's safety. They were amazing with Gavin and I'm grateful that we are taking our current approach.
