Quick Surgery Update
Sophia is about half way through surgery. She went in around 8am, I think. We arrived at the hospital at 6am. They took her vitals. We signed consents and met with anesthesia and the OR nurses. Sophia got a dose of Versed and was pretty out of it when they took her.
It was a couple of hours before they had got through her sternum and started her on bypass. But she is on bypass now. Her cardiologist successfully placed the stent in the left pulmonary artery. It was stretched from about 3mm to 10mm.
The surgeon was just beginning to put in the new conduit at our last update. I will post more when I am able.
