An Answer

The pulmonologist would not sign off on the surgery and said that he could not even see Jason today!!!!! (Can you tell how I really feel about this by my exclamation points?) They did agree to fax the results of Jason's last breathing test (done 2 months ago in November)to the surgeon's office. After reviewing these records, the surgeon agreed to go ahead and do the procedure without the pulmonologist's approval :-) Thank you God for answering our prayers.

ETA: We really like our surgeon :-) Every contact with him has been more and more positive. Please pray God's special blessings on this man.
