Sunday night was pretty restless. Between a roommate who was trying to recover from having his appendix removed to an abnormality in Ben's heart monitor which led to 2 a.m. blood draws and ekg (nothing to worry about) to an early awakening by doctors' rounds, there really wasn't much sleep for either of us.
What everyone wants to know; SURGERY IS SCHEDULED FOR 7:30 A.M. ON TUESDAY. Today has been a parade of doctors prepping us for tomorrow's events. We met the lead surgeon and got the 411 from the surgical nurse practitioner. Had pre-op blood drawn and ex-ray. Visit from the floor cardiologist. Anesthesiologist fellow came by.
Also there have been a bunch of phone calls for Ben, and some time spent in the Family Life Center. See the post on Jack's Mannequin and the picture of Ben taking a call from his classmates.
The family will be together for the surgery Tuesday. Got to love the Ronald McDonald House!
Thank you for the continued outpouring of support through your cards, calls, facebook/twitter notes, visits, varieties of kindnesses, and mostly your prayers. I'll tweet as info is available during surgery. You can follow those tweets directly or on the right side of this blog.
