Kristel asked me to keep her blog updated today. Hello, I'm Evan...Kristel's husband. We were to arrive at the hospital today at 10 a.m. for all the prep stuff, which took about an hour. By 11 a.m. we were ready to go, but the surgical room that was reserved for us was still in use for an "emergency repair" of another patient/doctor. The nurse said it would probably be about another hour before they would be able to get Kristel in for surgery. Almost two hours later of waiting, the anesthesiologist came and got Kristel and took her in to begin the surgery!
Our doctor blocked out 7 hours of his day for the surgery, but is only planning on 4-5 hours of actual time to perform it. He will be starting with the right ear and if all goes well he will then do the left ear. I am still amazed that this is an OUTPATIENT surgery and will be taking her home tonight. It kind of freaks me out and have had butterflies for the past week. I've been more nervous than Kristel, who has been totally calm and collected since Sunday. We both feel that everything will go as planned without a hitch. She's been in surgery for about an hour now so still plenty of waiting time to go!
