sibi said:Erin, you'll be taking Rand to Boston, right? How many hours drive is it from where you live in CT? When Rand gets discharged from the hosp. how will you managed the trip home? I have a question on his procedure. Are the doctors planning on putting a patch over the hole, or are they going to stitch the hole? I realize you'll be meeting with all the doctors tomorrow, and you may not know the answer yet, but I'd be interested in knowing.
Rand is having the surgery at the children's hospital that is 40 minutes away. All of his specialist will be there and available for consult if needed during the surgery. He has a very large hole so they are using a patch that they will take from another part of his chest area ( I'm not sure what part). The patch will then get stitched over the hole while he is on bypass. Because this is emergent I didn't have time to consult with Boston Children's and his cardiologist assured me that this is pretty straight forward and that they would happily send him to Boston if his case was unique in any way. I will know the exact extent of damage to his lungs today and have a lot more info. I'm off to get ready the consult.
