Spetember 2, 2008 Moya Moya Surgery




"Mom, it's still dark outside!"
Drake was up at 5:00am Tuesday morning getting ready to leave for Stanford Medical Hospital. We arrived at 6:00am to check-in and meet with the doctors.
Drake had his new buddy "Otter" with him from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and his prayer shawl from Northminster Presbyterian Church. He also had his little stuffed farm animals from his cousins to help him feel close to his barn back home.
Drake was very quite this morning until he saw Dr. Chen, his anathesiologist from Friday. Drake also met Dr. Berta, a doctor from the Steinberg Team.
Mom and Dad gave him a big huge at 7:50 am as he was wheeled off to the operating area. We are now sitting patiently (?!?) in the ICU waiting area.
The surgery is expected to last about 6 hours.
