Everything went as scheduled this morning and despite being woken up at 5:25 to drink some clear liquids as quick as we could get him to since we had to cut him off at 5:30am, Landon was bright eyed and bushy tailed!
We actually had 30 minutes less waiting time than from the cath since we only had to be here an hour and a half before surgery time instead of 2 hours for cath which was kind of nice. Less time for Landon to pick up on the strangeness of the situation and less time for us to get anxious. Plus they took him back on time instead of an hour late like the other day which made things a little bit easier. He has gotten pretty comfortable with the stethoscope and will even hold it in place over his heart while the doctor or nurse listens. The blood pressure cuff, however, is his sworn enemy so that should make things interesting over the next few days.
We talked to the normal round of people and let Landon watch some movies. They gave him versed both today and Monday (a sedative) to help him calm down and go to sleep easy and both days it made him pretty loopy which was kind of funny. He thought our "disguises" were funny again as we dressed to go back to the OR with him. He went to sleep fine and we kissed him and left him in the capable hands of the CVOR doctors and nurses.
Now, we sit, wait and pray. We expect to get updates about every hour or so so we'll keep posting as we get those. Thank you for your continued prayers!
