Lesson 4 -
Get test results and possibly query doing another test which will really set off your sensory issues - and set surgery indefinitely but that it will happen.

Chase up the surgeon's nurse only to get a call the next day saying surgery's in a week and a half - watch the child completely fall to pieces.

Lesson 7 -
Pull the kid together and tell them it can't happen then because their father is going to be away so there's no childcare for a hospital stay.

Call the nurse, who calls the surgeon and then calls you and we finally get a date set for 1 December.
