Surgery Went Well

This morning the family made the very early (before 6am) trip to Methodist. Colleen's surgical prep. ran fairly ordinary. It took two tries to start the I.V. It has been one of the few times where her blood pressure was not elevated. I see this as a sign that all of the discussion has taken some of the stress from this proceedure, along with her confidence in Dr. Baskin running the operation "skin to skin". They didn't give her any good medication till she had signed numerous places on a document that rivaled our mortgage. She was wheeled down to the operating room at 7:05. Baskin touched base with the kids before surgery and gave them the run down of what proceedures and expectations of the surgery. Matthew and Katlyn have a limited history of Surgical Waiting Rooms. Matthew has been sleeping sitting up where Katlyn has taken a good nap on a couch. Matthew feels that this is truly a form of hell. The Surgery was set to start around 8:15. It is now 11:24 and the waiting room attendent has just informed me that they are closing and everything went fine. I will up-date as I know more. Ernest
