Huge day, but not as big as tomorrow

Well we arrived to St. Louis at around 9:30 Am today. Our first doctors appt was at 10Am and it didn't stop there. One after another we had 2 echocardiograms, blood tests, an EKG, oxygen tests, and many consultations with anesthesiologists and cardiologists. All of which assured us that this is routine in their world, but yet the surgery is still very risky. Surgery is set for 8:15AM tomorrow. we have to arrive at the hospital at 6:45 am to prep. Surgery should take around 4 hours. In other words when you are driving into work Lily will be entering surgery. By the time you leave for lunch she will be going into recovery.

Lily has been great to say the least. A few cries here and there but it is expected when people are poking you with needles. We are in our hotel room now, getting ready to go eat at a local STL restaurant in the neighborhood. here are some pictures I took today.

We hope Lily's week ends better than Tom's

thanks for your prayers!
