Today was another long day of appointments. We started at Dr. Ross’ office at 9:00 AM. We were there until 10:50. We had a 9:30 appointment with Anesthesiology but missed that. We were told that happens a lot and not to worry about it. We just went there as soon as we were done with Dr. Ross. We were at Anesthesiology until 12:30 PM and we had a 1:00 appointment with Interventional Radiology for the pre-procedure evaluation. We ate lunch after that and then we were done for the day. I took a nap all afternoon and then we went for dinner here in the hotel. We played a little bit of cards (we each won one game) and now it is 9:30 PM and time for bed.
The procedure is a go. We have the weekend off and then I am to check-in at Diagnostic Imaging on Monday morning at 8:30 AM. The procedure will start at 9:30 and be about 3-hours. Dr. Ross felt that I would be in ICU for the first 24-hours and then be in the hospital for about 4-days. That is less time than I had first heard. We should be home by Saturday the 29th of September if all goes well. The prayer now is that there will be no complications with the procedure. Dr. Ross was very positive and encouraging.
Tomorrow we are going to rent a car and try to see some sites around Houston and maybe try to go to the NASA Space Center.
That is all I can think of right now. If you have any questions please use the comment feature of this blog and I will try to answer them.
Thanks again for your prayers.
Love,
Karen

Hi Karen
No questions, just PTL!! We'll miss you at Bible Study tomorrow, but will be holding up in prayer both you and Ken.
We're so thankful that things have gone well. Ric says to ask how Ken is doing, as well.
God has not brought you this far to let you go! He'll be walking with you each step of the way, and in hindsight, you may only see one set of footprints through this ordeal! ;)
Love, Pat
Dear Ken and Karen,
