Today was filled with tying up loose ends like running errands, laundry, packing and getting an oil change on Sam's car. We went to dinner at Sam's sister Kara's house tonight so that he could see his niece and nephew (who will not be at the hospital) and to take our mind off looking at our packed bags at home.
We received our confirmation call from the hospital this afternoon and there are no changes. We have to arrive at the hospital at 8:30am and surgery is scheduled between 11-11:30am. Pretty lucky on 11.11.11 and for a surgery time to be 11am....just sayin'. Its approximated to take 5-7 hours with two surgeons in the operating room. Sam needs to shower tomorrow morning with an antiseptic wash that is supposed to sterilize and reduce bacteria on his chest. This is needed so that they can shave him in the morning in preparation of surgery. Anyone that knows my Arabic man knows he has some hair...he asked them if they would have a hedger on hand ;)
I will keep everyone updated via the blog tomorrow so feel free to check it often (sometimes the email updates have a lag) and I will update as soon as I talk to the doctors and nurses.
We appreciate everyone's thoughts, prayers, vibes and messages....it means so much to us.
