10.31.17 Surgery details

Aimee is checking in tomorrow at 12:45pm and scheduled for a 2:15pm procedure. We would not be surprised if this timeframe does get pushed back some as it is later in the day and the surgeon is adding her into his schedule. The plan is for a 2 hour surgery to clean out the infected incision and determine the appropriate course of action. 

For some reason, we had assumed that it would be an outpatient procedure, though it was never mentioned yesterday. Really not much was discussed except what needed to be done. No details. The nurse that called this morning said that the surgeon planned on 4 days inpatient for her. We’re not sure if this is just in case he finds a deeper infection or if it is no matter what. Definitely nerve wracking to not know if we will be there as our due date rapidly approaches. We’re pretty numb and nauseous right now, but also really thankful that we took her in yesterday. 

Thank you for praying for Aimee with us.
