Today we arrived at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City for Kenten's Pre-Op appointment. We saw the RN first. She took all the vitals one normally has done at the beginning of a doctor's appointment. Then the Cardiac PA came in and did almost all the same things and asked a lot of the same questions. She answered a couple of our questions as well. We found out the procedure will take about 1.5 to 2 hours. We then saw the anestesia nurse who again did a lot of the same things and asked a lot of the same questions. She also informed us that he may come out of surgery without his loose tooth. For some reason we never really found out, they pull loose teeth during surgery.
We are a little disappointed that we're not going to be able to use the pass a friend gave us for the Great Wolf Lodge. Kenten won't be allowed to bath or swim for 3 days after the surgery. We did eat dinner at the T-Rex Cafe. It's a lot like the Rainforest Cafe, but centered around dinosuars. Kenten got to open a geode and Joscelyn made a Build-a-Dino, it's like a Build-a-Bear but a dinosaur.
Tomorrow we have to report to the hospital at 7:00 for the procedure to begin. When he gets out, he'll have about 5-6 hours of recovery. The Cardiac PA thought they might have us stay in the hospital over night since we are from out of town.
We plan to make Wednesday a fun day of relaxed site-seeing. We'll travel home Wednesday evening.
