Pre-Op Visit to Same Day Surgery and Anesthesia

Today's visit consisted of taking weight/height measurements and checking out her heart.  They also took a glance at her throat because of the continual cough and runny nose.  All looked good.

I am taking her back Monday morning for a blood draw to type her because of the transfusions she had with her anemia.  They said sometimes that can change her blood type ever so slightly and they want to make sure they have additional blood on hand if needed.

They will give her a knock out drug in her room and then intubate her when they get her in the OR.  They will then place an epidural  for pain management before starting surgery to help after surgery.  She is estimated to be in the hospital up to six days after that.
