Today, Kyra had a central IV line placed, at her right shoulder, that they'll use during her surgery and recovery to administer medicines, fluids, nutrition, and whatever else they might need. Having the line placed the day before surgery can cut down the time she'll be under total anesthesia tomorrow by about an hour.
We were at the hospital for about 4 hours, and it took Kyra another couple of hours to start smiling again. Back at the hotel, we spent the afternoon watching Harry Potter and Chevy Chase Vacation movies with Christa and Curtis, playing "toss the surgical glove", and reading and re-reading Kyra's "Fiddler on the Roof" program.
Time for bed now... Tomorrow's going to be a very long day.
Peace.
My brave friend Kyra and her brave mom Sara. Lots of love coming your way. - Chris
