Today is surgery day. The day we have been waiting for and dreading all in the same moment. Nothing can compare to feelings we are having today. There is no way to imagine or describe the feeling of handing your child over to someone else and trusting them to bring her back to you after they have performed open heart surgery on her. I just feel all around nauseous right now; it's going to be a long day. Our surgeon told us to plan for the entire day; that is how long it could take from start to finish when you include all the prep and recovery in there. Alyssa is his only surgery for today.
We handed Alyssa over at 7:45am this morning. The plan is to get hourly updates.
First update just came in as I was typing this post. Anesthesia went well. They had her draped at 8:45am and are ready to begin surgery. Pray for her.
