Anesthesia Consult...

Yesterday, we took Frankie to SLCH for his anesthesia consult for his surgery on the 25th. All went well. We went over the usual business:
-Versed to calm him before they take him back. 
-Gas to knock him out. 
-Insert IV's (several I'm sure), ART line, possibly central line (hopefully not). Anesthesia meds through IV.
-Intubate him. 
-Surgery. 
-Always the possibility of a blood transfusion (Donate blood everyone!)

Surgery will be roughly 4 hours. 

I'm having a very hard time getting ready for this. Lulu can't go in to his ICU room or stay over night at all. Once he's on the floor, she can go in to his room but not stay the night. 

Lord, give us all the strength (especially Frankie) to make it through this.
