3. Off he goes

June 9 2014

We checked in this morning, the anesthesia team, nurse team and the neurosurgery team all meet with us.
They weren’t totally pumped that in the last week Otto has had a low grade fever and runny nose. At our pre-op they took blood to see if his body was fighting a bug. We didn’t hear back so we assumed we were good. He’s gotten better rash day so that was promising too.
After some discussion this morning they decided he was okay to go.
So we gave him our kisses and cuddles and the two anesthesia guys took his back.
They gave us this fancy pager and told us that and 10 am they’d page us to tell us that the surgery was underway.
We got the page at 10:15 am so he’s been in surgery for about one hour.
UPDATE- just got another page and called.
Apparently he’s done with surgery right now.
We’re on our way up to talk to the surgeon. We’ll keep you posted xoox
