We arrived at the hospital about 6:15 this morning! We registered and got Lucas Ready for his surgery. They took him back about an hour ago. They just called us to inform us that they had began his surgery and that all was going well!
Charlie, myself and my mother are waiting patiently in a private waiting room that was reserved for us. Someone from the surgery will call us every hour or so. Its a very scary time. They tell us that this is a common surgery for them and that the risk are minimal. That's easy to say when its not your son. They have been using words like Bypass, this is not a word I ever wanted used in the same sentence as my sons name! For those of you just catching up Luke has 3 holes in his heart that could not be repaired by the procedure he had last month. They informed us at that time he would have to have open heart surgery. Back to today, the procedure should take about 3 hours. They do have to cut through his breast bone and put him on by pass. The thought of my sons heart not beating on its own scares me to death. I know hes in good hands and this has to be done, however I would truly rather be having a long day at work, or cleaning my house with the kids! Those days are looking better and better all the time!
Will keep you all posted!
