Pre-op

We had Susannah's pre-op yesterday. We went to the hospital and on the first floor she had her blood drawn. It consisted of an arm stick where they took three vials, a finger stick which they squeezed and squeezed and squeezed until they got enough for a little container and a nose swab that went all the way up her little nose. It was to test for RSV. I guess to make sure she didn't have it, the nurse didn't know why exactly she had that particular nose swab test. Then we went to third floor and had a chest x-ray done, and then to fourth floor for an ECHO and EKG. She was so tired by that point she ate a little bit and slept for most of the ECHO. We received all of our instructions and everything for Wednesday. We are to be at the hospital by 6am. They didn't say exactly what time her surgery would be so we're just kind of playing it by ear. She'll be in the PICU the whole time. The cardiologist and surgeon are meeting with the Electrophysiologist today to go over her ECHO and decide whether to go ahead with a pacemaker or not. One parent can stay in the room overnight with her, so we've reserved a room at the "clubhouse" (which is like a hotel room they say) to use for showering or whatever. The surgery itself should only take an hour. They'll give us updates throughout and as soon as they move her to the PICU we should be allowed to go see her! I think that's all for now! Thank you all for Praying!!
