Way too much to do tonight and not enough time to do it so I'll keep it short. We went in for pre-op today with anesthesia and they approved Julia for surgery. She is healthy enough and we're very glad to be moving forward. She had her blood drawn for the two units of blood that might be needed. And she didn't shed one SINGLE tear. Couldn't believe it, she just watched them fill four vials with not even a squeak. Facts are she smiled at the lady doing it.
Surgery starts at 11am but they want us up at Children's by 9:30am. That means we'll be leaving in about 36 hours! They expect the surgery to be done by 5pm so we won't know much until late in the day. Although the nurse provides updates hourly I don't anticipate it to be much more than whether things are going as expected or taking longer than anticipated. When everything is complete we'll get an update by the surgeon and then get to see her briefly before they take her up to the pediatric intensive care unit and will need some time to settle her in and hand off her care to that team. So I might not have much of an update until very late but will try to get one out by the time we head for bed. AJ and I will be taking turns staying with her overnight with the other hopefully staying close by at the Ronald McDonald House. Appreciate the prayers and support!
