Praying

Yesterday we went to MUSC for her pre-op workup. They started with the Chest x-ray which she didn't care for at all, as John and I had to hold her down for it. Then we went and got a function ECHO, she did ok (the tech gave her a sucker) and I held her for the first part and John held her for the second part. She enjoyed the EKG, she thought it was fun that they were putting stickers on her belly and then connecting them to wires. The worst was when they drew her blood. They wrapped her up in a sheet and she screamed bloody murder but then she was good and we played for a while. We talked to several people and they all listened to her heart. She even listened to her own heart. Her surgeon's PA Jennifer put her stethoscope into Lorelei's ears and Lo put it where it was supposed to go. She then put it around her neck like the Drs do. It was too cute!

The last person we talked to was Dr. Bradley who explained everything they were going to do and all the other stuff that could happen. (Not so fun!) Then as we were waiting to get our paperwork to leave another little girl coded in there. Please pray for the family as we don't know what happened to the little girl.

So now we are having a fun weekend before we go in on Monday. She is the first case Monday morning. Her surgery starts at 7:30 and we have to be there at 5:30. I will keep the blog updated as much as I can.
