They weren't able to clear Andrew's central line, so the surgeon decided at around 8 that they would have to install a new one, and set him up for surgery at 10:30. The resident came to tell us this, and found Andrew in the middle of eating breakfast. Since you can't have any food for six hours before the surgery, they had to push it back to 2PM. This put the possibility of us getting discharged today in doubt.
At around 8:30, the nurse came in to try clearing the line one last time before she disconnected the apparatus, and it worked! Now the central line is fully functional, surgery has been cancelled, and we need to go get Andrew another breakfast. We are back on schedule for leaving today. Special thanks to "Nurse Stephanie" for saving us.
