Surgery Schedule
We'll be at the hospital by 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. surgery start time.
First surgery of the day is always a good thing -- even better knowing your surgeon has just returned refreshed from a relaxing vacation.
Zack will be given a sedative and then ride a tricycle or be pulled in a red wagon down the hall into the OR around 7:30 a.m. where he will be given a root beer flavored oxygen mask with the special sleeping medicine.
He has one assignment from his doctor tomorrow morning. He has to name three brands of root beer for his cardiologist before the surgery.
Anesthesia will take about an hour, then cardiopulmonary bypass will take about an hour, and then the actual surgery will take maybe another three or so. We'll get hourly updates from the staff and will post them to this blog.
Stay tuned.
