All is going well. We are checked in to the hospital. Ryan is in room 905 and Neal 968 Rhodes. Basically today is for meeting with all of the doctors and getting lab work and a chest x-ray. So far so good. The day could go a little faster, but at least we are here. Surgery is on for 7am. Ryan will probably be taken around 6:00 or 6:30 and Neal shortly after. They plan to get both of the guys up and about fairly quickly. It certainly was weird for us to be checking in instead of rushing to the ER. It is very strange for Ryan actually being a patient! The surgeon feels very good about the success of this operation, which is nice to hear. Until tomorrow....
