Angela's PreOp

At 9:45 this morning we arrived at Pimary Children's Hospital for Angela's surgery (cranial vault). The doctors further explained the process and what will happen. The cut her head in a wide zig-zag fashion so as to minimize the effect on the hair growth. They will put her under using general anthesia, put in a breathing tube, a central line, a catheter, and an 'art' line (straight into an artery in her arm to monitor her blood pressure). The anesthesiologist (Dr. Miller) came and took her about 11:20; we tried the wagon but she was too curious to stay in it, so he carried her; from here it is 5-6 hours!! Angela seemed to be doing ok this morning, especially with no food or water. But she slept until 8:45 and woke up just happy as could be! She had some fun playing before she was taken in for surgery.
