Denise and are in the cafeteria at the hospital now. Tess was a champ this morning. Up at 5:00 and out the door. We were in our surgery prep room by 6:00 am. All of the doctors and nurses came to visit while we were waiting. They're such a fun group and really seem to enjoy working together. We laughed a lot and Tess entertained everyone. Everyone is in good spirits and really excited for Tess. Nurse Nicole took Tess away at 7:30 and Tess didn't care one bit. She seemed to enjoy being carried down the hall getting to look at all the other patients and doctors.
It's going to be a long morning/afternoon. The anesthesia team will get Tess situated over the first 45 minutes and then Dr. Novais will begin the hip surgery. That takes a few hours, then the casting takes about 30 minutes. After that they'll take her for a short MRI. We should get to see her around 1:30. Maybe a little later if they have to cut her femur to get the hip in the socket.
The nurse will call us every hour with updates, but there probably won't be much to share until we get to see her and talk with Dr. Novais.
Thank you to everyone for the support and prayers!
