06/11/2007: "Side Two"

5:30 update, Monday

It's a small world! Our ICU nurse, Kim, is the sister of one of Nick's teachers at Stone Valley. At 4:30 I got a call from (Karen) Nick's teacher, saying that Kim (nurse) was looking for my cell number, and was it OK if she gave it out. What is it about hospitals that you seem to answer the same question until you want to blurt out "You should have it memorized by now!!", and then they can't find the information when they need it... Anyway the point, and I do have one, is that she called to update me.

The surgery actually started at 1:30, an hour later than expected. It was going swimmingly at 4:30, and they were just turning him over to start side two. The surgery should be over at about 7:30 or 8, and then an hour in recovery, then on to the ICU. Not sure if he will be coherent when he comes to or not - but the good news is that the surgery is going well.

Thank you to all that have called and emailed to wish us well - as usual we are overwhelmed!
