Is it any wonder we're crazy around here...

Received a letter in the mail today from Julia's cranio facial surgeon.  Excerpt below...

This [surgery] had in fact been scheduled but she acquired a significant upper respiratory infection that prevented us from proceeding with surgery on April 15th; the associated risks for proceeding with her surgery were too great.

She has been rescheduled for June 7th, and we are hopeful she will have made a full recovery by then. [...] Our understanding is that Julia is clinically improving, but remains at risk for reinfection.  It is particularly critical in her case that we are able to proceed with surgery, as long term outcomes are related to the age at the time of the procedure, and the window is closing in Julia's case.  It is therefore important that she remains healthy, and that all measures to insure not only her health but those of the children she encounters are maintained with the highest possible standards.

Yeah, that's why I'm crazy.
