Day 3 Surgery Day

We got to the hospital by 6:15am. We were able to stay with her as they rolled her down to the operating room around 6:45am. We got to give her kisses and say our goodbyes. This was one of the hardest things I've ever done. As they wheeled her away I tried so hard to be positive but you can't help to think of all the things that could go wrong. Will her heart start back up? Will she have a reaction to the anesthesia? What if she has a stroke or bleeds out. All these things running through your head as you walk away and wait for any kind of update. We headed back to the hotel with tears in our eyes. Took a shower and got ready for the day. Headed back over to the hospital had some breakfast and then headed over to the waiting area. By now we had already heard that she had done really well and they had started her on bypass. Shortly after 12:30pm we heard she had come off bypass and we doing great. They wanted to monitor her chest cavity to make sure it didn't swell too much. It was a LONG waiting game. By 2:30pm we were able to go up to her room and see her. She looked amazing. Such a sight for sore eyes. Suzanne was her nurse and prettied Alexa all up for us by putting a purple bow in her hair.
