We met with the surgeon today. He did a good job of explaining the possible scenarios for Baby and reminding us that we just have to take it one day at a time. My medical lesson of the day was atrium means room in latin. I obviously learned a lot more but can't explain it like the surgeon can. Right now he is even lecturing a group of fellows on our babies heart defect.
We didn't really hear anything new. There are a lot of intricate details and they can't tell specifics until Baby is here. As soon as Baby is born it will be taken straight to the NICU and they will start doing the tests they need to figure out the best approach to fixing the heart.
It sounds like the first surgery will more than likely be on approximately day 4 of life, but like I said nothing is set in stone. We got a tour of labor and delivery, NICU and PICU rooms. It was good to see where we will be spending a lot of time.
Nothing else new to report right now. There a lots of doctors and nurses on top of things and ready to take great care of Baby. We feel lucky to have them.
