Denervation underway...

This picture was taken this morning when we got to the hospital. She was happy and cheery still at this point.



We are finally underway after a long morning of pre-op, which is so much tougher when we are unable to give Audrey any bottle or food. She obviously knows the drill at this point and became extremely worked up and scared when they started putting the leads and other connections onto her. She was getting so worked up that we were more than a little worried about her heartrate and the possibility of it going into torsades again, similiar to a month ago at CHOA. At this point her ICD is adjusted so that the defibrillator is turned off but it is still pacing if needed. They allowed Amanda to go back to the OR with her until they got the anesthesia in and she fell asleep. At this point we are in the waiting room and waiting for updates.

The below picture is of a monitor in the waiting room that updates with the status. Audrey is 'patient 1074116' and is currently in the OR. Kinda feels like being at the airport and keeping our eye on flight 1074116 on the monitors.



Will post an update when we get one.
