This isn't finalized yet, but Megan spoke with the nurse that is helping us schedule things, and it looks like the next surgery will be on Thursday, September 26th. We will make it final tomorrow and I'll make another post. The good news is the doctors in conference, given the results of the catheter lab and the monitoring that has been going on, DID NOT think she needed to come in immediately for the pacemaker. They DID think that she is ready for the Fontan Procedure. So this surgery will combine the two tasks - she will get the pacemaker and the Fontan at the same time, saving her from opening her chest twice.
This one will be more involved, and will take longer to recover from. We will be in the hospital for up to ten days, and we have been warned that she will be miserable for another two weeks after getting home. They do seem to over-warn us, though, and I will hang on to the idea that she will amaze everyone, as she often has, and bounce right back quickly.
More to come soon...
