Well, the last couple of days have been very interesting and somewhat stressful. Yesterday was to be Tim?s surgery day. We were up at 4:30 AM and to the hospital at 5:45 AM. They checked Tim in, did all the pre-op stuff, and ran his IV. Signed all the forms, had his all hooked up to everything, hair cover, oxygen forehead monitor in place. In came his surgeon. The surgery was cancelled because they did not have the type blood they needed for his surgery. Tim is 0- negative. They need 6 ? 10 units of blood to go ahead with the surgery. I believe they also need 2 units of platelets.
Needless to stay this was distressful, but we feel we have to trust in the Lord and we know he has our best interest in his capable, loving heart. But, this has been hard!
Were we live is having a blood shortage, especially 0-neg. We don?t know exactly when the surgery will be rescheduled, as The Blood Services cannot predict when they will have enough blood on hand. Our surgeon said he feels in the next 7 days to 2 weeks we will be able to go ahead with the surgery.
OK?We need help! Could anyone who has had more than one OHS please let us know how it went? What their experiences were and how long they were in surgery. The anestheolgist really layed it all out yesterday about scar tissue and the calcium hopefully only being on the valve and not other places. This really scared us both.

This is the day that the Lord has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.
