Surgery Day

We got an early start this morning at 5 am. Corinne isn't used to getting up so early. She is typically an excellent sleeper and wasn't thrilled to be up before the sun, but got over it quickly. We arrived at the hospital a little before 6:30.

Corinne was in good spirits, and enjoyed checking out the new environment. She smiled as various doctors and nurses came in and out of the room. She fell asleep after they took all her vitals, and stayed asleep as we handed her to the anesthesiologist outside the OR at about 7:30. Mommy and Daddy have held up pretty well so far. They called out to the waiting room at 9:05 to say that they were finished with all of the preparation and were beginning the actual procedure.

The nurse just came out as I was typing this update around 10:00 to say that everything was going well. Corinne has been on bypass about 30 minutes and they are getting ready to start closing the VSD with a patch.

we'll keep you updated...
