So Wednesday we finally met with Dylan's heart surgeon and we have scheduled for his surgery on Tuesday November 6. We will check in at 6:00am sharp and his surgery will be at 7:30am. The surgery will be anywhere from 2 to 3 hours depending on what they will need to do. Once Dylan is asleep they will do an echo on him to look at where they will be fixing everything and then will start the procedure. Once they are done they will do another echo just to ensure they did everything they need to do to make this surgery a success. Dylan will not be aloud to eat after midnight, which is fine because he does sleep through the night but our little man is usually starving right when he wakes up. You cannot mess with him in the morning! So we decided to wake him up around 10 and feed him so he is not so hungry in the morning when we get to the hospital. After surgery Dylan will be in the hospital anywhere from 5 to 10 days depending on his recovery and how he is eating. They always want the babies to be eating normal before they leave hospital. I am not sure if many of you know but November 6 is also Greg and I wedding anniversary, it is also the same day we found out we were pregnant and it is now the same day Dylan will be having his surgery! This is a very successful day and Dylan is going to do awesome!!
