Reality is almost here. Marki has Pre-Op on Monday. For this, they will be re-doing all of the previous tests they have run before to make sure there has been no changes or impacts to her heart since her last series of tests. Her fear of course is the needle - as they will have to draw blood. And, based on our last experience, as a result of her extreme fear of needles, this in itself is enough to send her heart racing - which obviously is not a good thing. So pray she gets a good stick too.
I have been asked a number of questions regarding where the surgery is, timing of events, visitation... And unfortunately, I don't have all the answers just yet -but will mention what I do know for now and will have some more answers after pre-op and then will update from there on out.
Where is the surgery? At Wolfson's or at Baptist...? They are both together so I won't know until tomorrow which one. So in relation, some have asked which waiting room. I will let you know.
When can she have visitors? She will be in Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) for at least the first day and then wil be moved to Pediatric ICU(PICU) as soon as she comes off the ventilator. So ICU for probably the the first two days. - ICU only allows family. We expect that she should be in a regular room on Friday. So antime Friday or beyond should be fine. As soon as she is moved to a regular room, I will post the information on here.
Some have asked about flowers, etc - She cannot have these in ICU because of the breathing equipment. (At least that is what I have been told) so if you are going to bring her something, please wait until she has been moved into a private room . But if I hear otherwise, I will let you know.
BTW her favorite flowers are SUNFLOWERS. - though I don't know how readily available those are this time of year.
Thanks for your support and prayers ...ml
