It's going to be a long day.

Hayden before surgery. Jackie has updates on the care page and facebook. She explains things better then I do.

(My wife's update)

Hayden did pretty well last night, slept most of the night between Mama and Daddy. :) She was given a med this morning to help with the transition from my arms to the nurses arms. She was pretty loopy and funny and did great. Dr. Hammel came and talked with us after her echo to confirm everything going on and how things looked. One of her arteries needed to connect to bypass was smaller than should be so it sounds like they'll need to make an incision in her groin or neck (or both) to get on bypass another way or at least have another option. Please pray this goes well it's one of the riskiest parts of surgery. He also explained to us the different areas he's repairing. We got a call from the nurse a little after 8 letting us know that they had no trouble getting her IV lines in and that they had started. We will post more when we know more. We do know it will be a long day for her today as it takes a long time to carefully get to the areas that need repaired and then repair them all. We appreciate all of your continued prayers today!!
