Meeting with Cardiovascular surgeon
Up 'til now, I'd been led to believe that the surgery Emma is facing was relatively routine and straight-forward. However, after talking with the surgeon this morning, I realize that while it is technically fairly routine, the potential complications posed by Emma's fragile condition and her v. preemie size will make this a much more difficult procedure.
Intellectually I know that the doc. has to present us with all possible outcomes and worst-case scenarios, but hearing him discuss the very real possibility that she may not survive the surgery has me scared senseless.
Pending the results of another echocardiogram (to be done this afternoon), a brain ultrasound, and bloodwork, surgery will be at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.
