Well, you are in surgery as we speak. Here in the waiting room there is wi-fi and I need something to pass the time so here I am...typing on the blog. I didn't think I was going to be able to get on the internet so I had asked my sister, Mandi, to update the blog for me. I was happy to find out that I could use my computer...it helps keep my mind busy.
They just informed me that the incision has been made and all is well. We'll get another update at 10 am.
This morning we arrived at PCMC at 6:00 this morning. We waited in the waiting room for about twenty minutes until they called us back. They weighed you, measured you, listened to your heart, all the fun stuff. Then they gave you these sweet little scrubs to wear while you were in surgery. I hope we get to take them home. It would be a good little keep-sake. After that we met the surgeon. His name is Dr. Caza. What an impressive man! He saw that I was crying and he sat down by me, put his hands on my knees, and told me that you were going to be ok. He took us through the whole process of what he was going to do and how he was going to do it. I'll share those details with you later. Then we met with the anesthesiologist (I have no idea how to spell that word) who explained to us what he is going to do during the entire surgery. He told us about each tube that he will put in you and what type of anesthesia he will be using. He then walked us down the hall and had us say our goodbyes. We then placed you in his arms and you walked away.
Dad and I walked down the hall after you left and cried for a few minutes. It was hard to let you go but it was what needed to happen.
We just got another update. You are now hooked up to the heart-lung machine and the surgeon has began to patch up you heart. You are still doing well.
Grandpa Moon found us here in the waiting room so he is hanging out with us. Grandpa Hessing is not to far away either. He is almost here to come and wait with us too.
Here are some pictures of you. The ones where you are just in your diaper were taken last night as some "before" pictures. In a few weeks I will take some "after" shots. The other pictures are of you in your cute little scrubs. I love them.
So many people are praying for you today. I can feel it. I will be sure to write more as the days go on.
I love my little girl.
Love, Mom
