this is it.  it’s time …

arielle had a late snack at 11:30p last night since she’s not supposed to eat after midnight because of surgery this morning.  we’ve been here (at the hospital) since 7:30a this morning and they’ve just wheeled her into surgery.  it is a fairly simple procedure (i think) and since arielle’s port is right under her skin, not difficult.  the doctor said the procedure itself should take 10-15 minutes.  but with the anesthesia and all the preparations for surgery, it should take about 1/2 hour.  i can’t help feeling anxious, but the anesthesiologist said they would come get me as soon as she wakes up … just have to keep busy, i guess.

update: 10:53a … it’s all done.  surgery went well and uneventful.  :)  she’s in and out of sleep in recovery right now.  she can go home, i was told, in about an hour, depending on when she wakes up.
