The Time has come!

They took Aine back about 20 minutes ago.
They will start by giving her gas then start placing the lines for fluid & the rest of the anesthesia. Once she is fully out, they will start placing all the other lines; bi-pass, pulse, etc.
After all the lines are placed the surgeon will start his magic - he will open, work on her heart, then work on closing.
We will be updated at the following points:
1) When the surgeon starts opening
2) When Aine is put on Bipass
3) When Aine comes off Bipass
4) When Aine is done with surgery & going to the ICU

I will update you as these times come up.
Please be patient as this will be a Long, Long surgery - we are anticipating that she will be in the OR until 3pm or later.
After which we will be celebrating her "new" birthday!

On a side note, please also throw some prayers out for my nephew Landon. He is still in the ICU. I am awaiting news from his mom - but as you know, lots of questions can come up in rounds & "outsiders" are the last to find out what is going on. But.... He does need as many prayers as possible

Thanks for your love & support - we wouldn't be where we are today without all of you!
