Surgery Scheduled

     Exciting news!  Sophie's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (Monday) morning!  Brian & his mom were at the hospital this afternoon.  While they were visiting, the surgeon & pediatric cardiac specialist came by to take a look at her.  The cardiac specialist is concerned about the potential side effects of her current treatment, as are we.  (The medication she's on can lead to problems with her lungs.  This medication won't be necessary after the surgery.)  The surgeon said he's comfortable doing the surgery at her current size since all of her other systems are so strong.  So, we're moving forward.  

     We meet with the surgeon at 7 tomorrow morning to get more information about the procedure itself & the recovery expectations.  I have no idea how long the surgery takes, but we'll post an update as soon as possible.
