I was able to go back and see Sam for about an hour before they took him into surgery. It took longer than an hour to prep him due to his infamous Arabic hair coat covering most of his body and they had to put in a tube in his neck that had 3 tubes coming out of it...one of them is in case he needs a blood transfusion and I don't remember the needs of the other two. I do know that out of all the machines he was hooked up to that was the most annoying.
His mom and dad went in first to see him. Then I was able to go back and try and distract him a bit. I think I need to suggest to UofM that they put in flat screen tv's in that area... i mean that always help when you are being poked/prodded and need to wait.
I met two of the many nurses that will be in the operating room with him and a anesthesiology team. They all assured Sam and I that he will be fine... of course that is easier for them to say than for us to digest right now. I gave him a big smooch and told him everything will be fine ....They took him into the operating room at noon and now we wait another 5-6 hours until he is out of surgery and we can talk to the drs and hear how everything went.
stay tuned....
