Surgery Day

We just sent Ema away with the surgical nurses and we are waiting in the surgery waiting room. Today is the big day we've been waiting for. Surgeons will be fixing every remaining problem with Ema's heart. Hers is the only surgery scheduled for this surgeon today because it is expected to last all day (we were told to expect at least four to six hours). Ema was in good spirit this morning. She was a bit cranky from being up so early, and she didn't want anyone touching her, but she was smiling and waving hello to everyone in the hallway. She also had to poke her head out of the exam room door to wave at the people walking by. I will continue to post updates here as the day goes on, assuming I'm able to. Friends and family, feel free to contact me on my cell phone.
