Friday.. The Last Day of Testing Before the Surgery

We arrived Friday August 29 at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital about 10:20 am. Drake was scheduled for a Cerebral Angiogram at 11:00 am. The check in went well and they were pleased Drake's IV line was still working great! Dr. Chen was Drake's Anathesiologist. He was wonderful to work with and put Drake at ease. There always seem to be one person each day that went above and beyond for Drake. Today it was Dr. Chen! He informed us of the procedure and process that would unfold. Unfortunately our 11:00am appointment turn into a 1:00 pm appointment. At 1:00 pm we were told there was an emergency and there would be a two hour wait. We expressed our concern about Drake having no food since 10:00pm the night before and only 3 ounces of water at 7 am that morning. Our 3:00pm turn into a 4:15 test. It was a very long day. Drake was listening to his music and we kept him entertained.
