Hannah was scheduled to the a TOF repair on Wednesday, May 13, 2009. We brought Hannah to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville for the surgerey. Dr. Karla Christian was the surgeon that did the repair. The doctors came to the holing room at 8:00 a.m. and took her from us. It was truly the hardest thing that I have ever had to do...handing my daughter over to the person that is going to oper her chest. Many tears were shead and we knew that there was a long day ahead of us.
Dr. Christian came to talk to us at 2:00 p.m. So the surgery was a total of 6 hours. Hannah was immediately moved to the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Unit (PCCCU) where she was closely monitored by many doctors and nurses.
We were able to see Hannah at 4:00 p.m. This was horrible. To walk into a room and see your child in that condition is enough to take your breath away. There are no words that can describe it. I do not wish for anyone to ever have to see their child in this condition. We took pictures of her that I will try and post later.
Hannah is doing well. I will try to update as often as possible.
