Tomorrow is "KNEE-DAY"!

I was waiting to post until I found out exactly what all the issues were and if they were resolved are not. The did pre-op on Monday and found an unusual "sound" in her left carotid artery. Enough that they decided to do a doppler test on Tuesday. Dad called about the results this morning and everything was fine.

They are currently in the Presby Hotel on the 9th floor of Dallas Presbyterian Hospital. Pre-surgery starts Thursday morning at 5:30 a.m.; all they will have to do is get up and go downstairs. We don't know when the surgery will be exactly. There is a possibility that the knee may only require a small cap; in that case, surgery should take 45 minutes or so. If there is other damage (and, honestly, that is what is anticipated), surgery will take around 2 hours.

Tamara is scheduled to come in sometime tomorrow to be around. I will re-post tomorrow night as soon as I know something and am able to post.

Everybody say an extra prayer tonight!
