We have reached the time for James next surgery. He is having his Glenn procedure tomorrow. He is Dr. Forbess' second case of the day so our time is set for 12pm tomorrow. James had his pre op today and everything looked good. They checked his oxygen level, his blood pressure, temperature, height, weight, they took blood samples, urine sample, and he had an x-ray. We are all set for tomorrow, the only thing that will stop us is if a more serious case must come before us. but we hope that it won't happen. They will connect the superior vena cava with the lung arteries. The surgery will take approximately 4 hours and they said that recovery might only be 5-7 days in the hospital. I will keep everybody updated on how everything is going tomorrow. Keep us in your thoughts.
