Thursday, January 28 - Night before surgery

Hello again everyone -
Today Emma had her pre-op appointment down at Children's. Luckily, they sedated her to run all the test, otherwise I'm sure you would have heard her in St. Clair, or wherever you live. While she was under sedation they did an EKG, chest x-ray, blood panel, and inserted in IV port.
We will arrive at the hospital a bit before 6AM on Friday and they will take her right in. From there, they will do pre-op surgery "stuff" and take her into the operating room between 7:15-7:30ish. From there, the doctors perform open heart surgery to repair the left artery and insert a shunt. From surgery they will wheel her to ICU, which will take about another hour and a half to get her situated, then mom and I will be let in to see her. Prayers are welcomed and needed. I'll post an update tomorrow evening after we get kicked out of ICU - which is 8:00.
