9:00 am

It is now 9:00. We went back with Madeline at 8:30. I got to hold her hand while she fell asleep. So, they just called us from the cath lab with an update: they've gotten started, she's doing well with the anesthesia -- all is good! They will call every hour from now on unless there is a change in the plan; then they will call us in between!

working on uploading some pictures for you!
