We met with the surgeons at 10am and the gameplan was laid out. Dr. Soltys did a quick peek at her tummy as he was going to be the one to bring back the organs and wanted to have a good idea of size. He was leaving Pittsburgh at 11am for the donor trip and thought we would probably start the operation some time around 3-4pm. The donor organs were coming from out of state so there was a bit of an unexpected wait once were were admitted. It made for a long and emotional day.
As it turned out, they took Chelsea to OR around 5:30pm on the 16th. Chelsea made the anesthesiologist wait while she made a quick phone call to Michael, who had just got off of work at 5:30pm.
We headed off to the waiting room, expecting a 6-7 hour operation. But boy, were we wrong!
