I have so much to post about our day and weekend, including pictures, but not tonight! :) Tonight I will be trying to cat nap in between giving meds, changing feeds and getting up to be at the hospital by 5:30am. Rebekah will be taken back to the OR around 6:30 in order for the team to get the prep-work started. She will be given Versed (an anti-anxiety drug) before she leaves us, so that she will be relaxed and won't feel any fear or anxiety. The anesthesiologist, Pat, will be taking good care of Rebekah tomorrow. He has been with Rebekah for several surgeries and catheterizations, and he takes care of her like she is one of his own grandchildren. We just love the way he loves Rebekah! Once Rebekah is in the OR, she will be given an anesthesia and then the team will begin placing IV's, arterial lines, a catheter, multiple monitors and probes, and bringing her body down to a lower temperature so that surgery can begin. The plan is for surgery to begin around 7:30; actually we have been told that Dr. Bradley likes to begin his surgeries at 7:30 sharp! We will be updating both Facebook and the blog throughout the day tomorrow as we get updates from the OR. I would expect that our first update will probably be close to 9:00. Thank you all so much for your comments, encouragement, help (both for our expenses in Charleston, and help at home with the boys and grandparents), and most importantly your prayers. Please continue to pray for Rebekah tomorrow and as she recovers.
