Right no it is about 1:15. Lynn is still waiting to get in for her surgery. She has the IV in and will be next in line for Dr. Blossom. He'll come by to see her just before he takes her in.
Neither of us got much sleep last night. However, the morning went well. Kids got up and were in a pretty good mood. (Lynn's friend Rhonda is going to have them stay at her house tonight, along with her kids Jami and Evan.) We got Lynn all ready to go, plus packed the kids stuff. Then, we took Mac to the bus stop, and then we took Carlee to day care. She was very upset when we left, and didn't want Lynn to leave. We called daycare later, and found out that she was back to her usual gregarious self a few minutes later, though. And, since Lynn had not had anything to eat or drink since 10PM last night, naturally, we went grocery shopping. We had about 2 hours to kill and we couldn't think of anything else to do! Finally, it was time to head off to the hospital.
We got her in and registered, and they got her into surgery prep. Putting the IV in turned out to be pretty hard. Lynn's veins are already pretty small, and since she was dehydrated, they were really shrunk down. Had to put it in her wrist which they hate to do. She'll be in overnight and the wrist setup makes it harder to sleep, since it is such an awkward position.
I'll write again soon - still waiting to get started. Although the surgery itself will only last an hour, with all the prep and such, it will be between 2 and 3 hours from the time I leave her until I hear how things worked out from the surgeon. So, if she gets in at 2PM, it could be 5PM until we hear how things went.
