Pre-Admission Testing

Today was Allie's pre-admission testing. She had a brief physical, we met an anesthesiologist and a Child Life Specialist who walked us through everything from our arrival to Allie being transported back into surgery. Then we sat and waited, and waited, and waited. The last thing that needed to be done was a blood draw. They had a "situation" in another room so we had to wait until that was taken care of. I tried to get Allie to give up the bed so that I could nap but she wouldn't budge. Finally the nurse came back in, got the blood sample and gave us our instructions for the day of surgery.

Surgery is still on for July 2. It will start at 7:30 am and we have to be at the hospital at 5:45 am.
