Update

Teag went on bypass around 3:15 and the real repairs were beginning...Everything is going fine, they said it just takes awhile to get going...

Surgery is underway....

We checked in here at the hospital around 10am and handed Teag over at 10:40. They were scheduled to start putting her lines in around 11:15. We received a page around 1:15 that she was all prepped and they were starting. We were told that it takes a long time the 2nd time around to get through the scar tissue and get her on bypass... I called the ICU around 2:45 and they were still getting her prepped for bypass but they were almost there. Once she's on bypass we'll get another page that they're actually doing the 'work'. (connecting her svc, etc) Then another page when she's off bypass, and finally the 4th page when she's being moved to the ICU. Right now they still haven't confirmed that she's officially on bypass, and its taking longer than Trent or I thought. I had the ICU desk call the OR and they said everything is going fine and that sometimes it just takes awhile to get everything hooked up. They said once the actual 'work' starts that the rest should go pretty quickly. Please keep those prayers coming! I'll update again when we know more.

Tommorrow's Details...

We received a call this morning with the details on when to arrive for tommorrow's surgery. I wasn't sure if we were going to be admitted today or not, so when we got the call about tommorrow I was so excited to be able to keep her with us one more night! We got bumped to second case so now instead of reporting at 7am, we're supposed to check-in at 10am and they will take her around 11:30. Surgery is scheduled to start around 12 or 12:30 and is going to last around 3 1/2 hours. Most of this time is getting Teag prepped (lines in, anesthesia, bypass, etc...) the actual surgery shouldn't take very long. Dr. Permut said the longest part of the operation is getting through the scar tissue, etc.. left over from the 1st surgery.

The Dr. said that her surgery is a pretty typical 'Glenn' with no additional work needed. He'll take down her Sano shunt and connect her superior vena cava to her pulmonary artery. This will connect her upper body blood flow directly into her lungs. He said to expect Teagan to be swollen from the mid-chest up and for her to look a little blue right after. But once her body adjusts to the new blood flow, she should look alot pinker! Depending on how the surgery goes, they may extubate her a few hours after, or they may decide to wait until wed. morning.

Trent and I are actually feeling really good about everything this evening. I'll probably be emotional tommorrow handing her over- I don't think that ever gets easy. But we know that Teagan is strong and our little fighter! We are comforted knowing that she'll be in God's hands tommorrow when she's not in ours. He's seen her through so much already and we know that he has great things in store for her! Please keep her and us in your prayers tommorrow! Teag's uncle Shaughn and aunt Deni are going to join us here at the hospital as a part of "Team Teagan" and I'll update as often as I can! Thank you to all who have been checking in on us and leaving such wonderful comments. We read all of them and are truly comforted knowing how much love and prayer is being sent our way! We love you all!
