Tammy is getting terminated!

The awesome team at MD Anderson welcomed Shannon back to pre-op and we kept them entertained for about an hour. Various people come in and out of the room to get her ready for surgery. They put fancy compression socks on her, ask lots of questions, test her motor skills and finally put in an IV to deliver her “I don’t care” medicine (i.e. Versed).  She has the same anesthesiologist as last time, which is great! And of course, the best neurosurgeon in the universe, Dr Sawaya.  They wheeled her off to the operating room and now Jason and I are hanging out in the waiting room.  Dr Sawaya said the surgery takes about 5 hours, but last time he was much faster than that. :-)  We are supposed to get an interim update from the nurse around 10:30, so for now we wait.
