Hayes is doing really well. The nurses say he is very stable. They were able to get the IV in his arm like they had hoped. Unfortunately, they still have to get ANOTHER one in his other arm in order to do the surgery. Hayes is taking in lots of vitamins & nutrients.
The surgery is still scheduled for 9:00 Sunday morning. Hayden and Sarah were able to talk to the doctors and got a lot more information about the surgery. The surgery lasts about 4 hours (a lot of which is used for prepping.) Basically, the surgeons will be cutting out the piece of the aortic arch that is narrowed and will be sewing the two ends back together. This surgery has an extremely high success rate and in more than 98% of cases goes smoothly. The Dr. that will be performing the surgery has been doing it for over 15 years and is considered to be one of the best in the nation. So, Hayes will be in good hands! Hayes will be spending about two weeks in recovery at Stanford, or could possibly even be moved back to Sutter Memorial.
Just about the time we were getting ready to leave last night, Sarah came in with some great news... Hayes peeed, and peeed A LOT (per her words!)... YAY!
