So, Stella was cleared for surgery by the hematologist, pediatrician,
cardiologist, neurologist and neurosurgeon last week.
We brought her to the hospital this morning, where she got dressed in a tiny
hospital gown and we signed lots of paperwork. We then took her for an MRI
(brain scan) where she was given a sedative- it knocked her out in seconds.
I could have used that medicine on the plane ride here!
After she's done there, about 1.5 hours, she will be transferred to the
operating room. The neurosurgeon expects to make the first incision at 1pm
and finish between 5 and 6 pm. After that, she goes to the pediatric
intensive care unit for the rest of this week.
It is now 12pm- Marcel and I are sitting here in the waiting room eating way
too many free cookies and drinking lots of bad coffee!
Will keep you posted.
