Game Day: Moyamoya Surgery

Today is surgery day...moyamoya husband and I spent a lot of time praying...and we both feel very confident going into the surgery. He was admited at 5:15 am - no liquids or food since 12 midnight...he was called into the back room at 7:00 where anesthiseologists (spelling) and nurses drew blood inserted iv...they could not find a vein so finally put it in his hand vein - his spirits were good - they marked his left side where they will drill three holes open his skull and then begin the bypass...its sureal but today strength comes through our lord and savior Jesus Christ - so we are doing well...I wait now until at least 1pm....with another update.
