Ready to settle

Its 9 pm and Clint is gone again after bringing a lovely supper prepared by Ma. Celina and I are ready to settle for the night. Preperations for the op will start at 6am with pre medication, and the last neb and then at 7 the last chestphysio. 7.45 we will be fetched for the theatre. I will go in with her and stay until the anaestetic has set in and she is sleeping. The first hour she will be prepared. They will put in lines and a katheter, take bloods and do a crossmatch(bloodgroup) to get blood for a possible blood transfusion. Once they have the results they will get the blood within 90 minutes. Just if she needs it. Then they will also do x-rays to look at the hips again to see what it looks like.
They are going to start with the right side. Once this is done the anaesthetist will deside if she is fit enough to do the left side. They are going in with 2 orthopaedic surgeons and 2 anaesthetists. The other thing they might do is giving Celina an epidural for the first 48 hours after the op so she will feel no pain at all. All depends on how the op goes. The length of the surgery will also depend on what they find when they open her up.
One of the anaesthetist will keep me updated via phone of what is going on in the theatre.
I guess that all sounds quite hectic. I have actually calmed down completely and trusting completely in our wonderful Lord that everything will go well. We got good doctors on board all in doublepack and the Lord is the headsurgeon and anaesthetist. And we have lots and lots of praying people around us.
       Worry and fear are not from God and shall stay far away from us.
                                            Trust and joy shall be with us.
