At 1:41, they took her off to the operating theater. Good thing I ate a big breakfast. I have been requested to stay here in the waiting room until 2:30, when they get her on the heart lung machine.
I will update all of the outlets as I hear more, but chances are there will not be any definitive news until 6:30pm
I should have ordered that cheeseburger as a lettuce wrap. If a bun is going to claim a glycemic load of 80, I want it coated in chocolate. While I was gone at Lunch and Mass, she went on the heart lung machine at 3. From what they originally said, I am thinking it will be between 6-8pm.

Update: it is now 6:52 and no news yet. Original estimate was 4 to 6 hours. So could be as late as 9

The surgeon just talked to me. Damage to the valve was worse than we thought, she now has a new plastic valve that will last the rest of her life.
About an hour before they will let me see her.
Other than that, she is out of danger and in CICU for the night.
Praying for Shannon right now. Keep us in the loop. Thanks!
