Surgery Scheduled

Surgery is scheduled for Monday, January 7th at 11:30 eastern time (9:30 mountain time).  We have to be there to check in at 10am (8am mountain time).  They will give her lots of anesthesia - IV, oral, breathing mask and regional nerve block for her left hip.  Before she enters the operating room, she will be completely asleep.

Dr. Novais estimated that Adeline's surgery will take approximately 4-5 hours.  At one point, a few years ago, there was concern about Adeline's femur.  Please be praying that her surgery is limited to just her hip!  A nurse will update us every 90 minutes.  

The first day Adeline will mostly be sleeping, but the second day - the goal is to get her sitting up in a chair.  The next day, the in-patient therapists will start working with her.  She will be in the hospital for four days.
