We got the call from Mary Bridge this afternoon- they want us to be at the hospital at 7 AM tomorrow morning. They didn’t say what time the actual surgery would be, though I’m guessing it will be closer to 8, based on his last surgery. We will be having Patrick and Samuel spend the night with my parents tonight, and Andrew and I will take Ethan to the hospital tomorrow. I’m guessing that they won’t make us stay overnight- it wasn’t mentioned in the pre-op instructions- so I’m hoping we’ll be home by mid to late afternoon. I’m glad that the surgery is scheduled for early morning, and I’m hoping that there will be no complications. Last time they had a complication with getting the IV in, but I hope that they don’t even have that problem this time. I’m also hoping that Ethan will recover quickly. He is a very active little boy, and they have given us fairly strict post-op instructions about what kind of activities he can do once he’s done. Hopefully he’ll want to sleep a lot and not be a fuss, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see on that one…
