We had Audra's pre-op day on Friday and everything went well. It was a long day but Audra is an ideal candidate for the Fontan, which is so great to hear.
We have known this day would come but it doesn't make it any easier. But we are looking forward to having this behind us and moving forward. I really have a hard time believing that it is already here, which does not change the fact that it is upon us (and I should be sleeping).
Thank you to everyone for your love, support, prayers, thoughts, texts, emails, phone calls, surprises for Audra... and everything! We really do appreciate it all.
We are reporting to the hospital at 6:15 tomorrow and Audra will be first case meaning she is the first to have surgery for the day. Despite the early start for us, this is the best case. She will go back around 7:15 and surgery will take 4-5 hours. We will post updates here as we can. We should get to go back to see her a couple of hours after they finish up her surgery.
Please keep Audra, Dr. Bove, her surgical team, her PCTU nurses in your thoughts and prayers! We are feeling comforted by the fact that we will have one of our favorite nurses caring for Audra tomorrow night. She took a non-weekend shift just for Audra and she is the best! We know that Audra will be in the best hands possible.
We will be back all too soon.
