Just wanted to give everyone an update. We got to the hospital at 6:00 this morning to begin the registration/pre-op process. Field hadn't had anything to eat since 7:00 last night and nothing to drink since 3:30 am, but he was still as happy and content as could be! We hugged and kissed our sweet boy goodbye around 7:30 am and were told to call the OR at 9:00 to check on the progress. We talked to the OR nurse right at 9:00 and she said they were having trouble getting his art-line in. This is how they monitor his blood pressure, so she said they would not proceed until they get it. She also said it is not uncommon to have trouble getting this line in, in "well-nursed" babies with a lot of fatty tissue covering their veins and arteries...so I guess I should feel good about this! ;) We will check back soon to see if they were able to get this in and proceed with the surgery.
***Update: we just talked to the nurse again and they were able to get the art-line in and the actual procedure began at 9:55***
Here are a few pics from this morning...
