Devin went in for surgery today. He was scheduled for a 2pm start time until last night when we got a call form Harborview to change it to noon. We got there at 10am as requested and at 11 the surgery had been delayed. Devin when in for surgery around 1:30 this afternoon and will hopefully be done between 6 & 9 tonight.
The anesthesiologist and attending doctor at the surgery preparation room were both amazed that three top surgeons all well known and respected are all collaborating on this surgery and will all be in the operation from start to finish saying that this is unprecedented. The surgeons all agree that this will be a challenge, we are hopefully optimistic that this will help his leg/hip recover.
