Well....they have the operating room blocked off for Wyatt until 11:45am. They started around 9pm. I asked Dr. Abduallah how long it would take and he said if there are no complications, just a few minutes!!! I thought he was joking, but I went downstairs to Children's admitting to pay our bill and admit Wyatt and when I came back up (just now), Benji said he is done!!!! Success!!! We have to wait 15 minutes to see him. Also, Mix 106.5 Radiothon is here all weekend raising money for the Children's Center and the PR lady asked me to share Wyatt's story on air!! So stay tuned for Wyatt to publicly thank all his doctors. I told the PR lady that I would be happy to do it, but Wyatt is in surgery now and I will come back down when he is finished. I always thought the radiothon was so depressing and in previous years and I would turn it off, but now that I am living it, I think it's inspirational to learn about all the little miracles in the Children's Center. I never would of thought that I would be "one of those families." The couple sitting next to me has a son in surgery now. Their son is getting his 30th surgery and he is a teenager. Wow!! You see and learn so much in the PICU. Also, Wyatt is looking forward to meeting up with his NICU buddy, Drew this weekend. Drew may be going home early next week and we hope the best for them. The picture above is Wyatt in the operating room before they put him to sleep. I got to be with him and give him a kiss before his operation. All the docs laughed when I pulled the camera out of my pocket to take a picture!!! You always have to be prepared with mom stuff no matter where you are!! He doesn't look too happy, but when he arrived in the OR he was really happy looking around. The bed is nice and warm and his head is on a cushion. He only started crying when he learned that it was him going to get the operation. The drugs they gave him worked in split seconds and he was out. Thank you again for all your support and prayers.... keep them coming!
