Well, Mandy is all prepped and off to surgery. Got here at 5:30. The IV ONLY took 3 attempts. One unsuccessful try on the left arm made the nurse switch to the right arm. Missed on the first try, and then got it on her second and last attempt before she called for back up.
The doctors came in and briefed her. Dr. Wing will have about 15 minutes of work, and then Dr. Hodges will have about 2.5-3 hours of work. All in all, much less surgery time than the 7-8 hours we were told on Friday. Hopefully that is because they just didn't know what they were talking about and NOT that the doctor has a lunch reservation and needs to knock this out by noon.
Dr. Wing should be done with her part by 8:15 and will be coming out to update me on how her part went. Stay tuned.
