It's 10:30 here and Meredith is tucked into bed, fast asleep.

We have to be at the hospital at 7:30 in the morning and she is scheduled for 9 am. I talked to the anesthesiologist tonight, he's put her to sleep 6 other times so far so we are very comfortable with him. The first 4 times other docs put her to sleep were awful but Dr. Murphy does a wonderful job and she wakes up best with him. He uses a different drug load than the others and she tolerates it much better.

He said he's going to go ahead and intubate her since the endoscopy scope is a bit large for her throat and he feel's better about having her airway secured on the off chance that something were to happen.

I always get nervous the night before this stuff happens, I used to be a bit more used to it but it's been right at a year since she's been put under and I've lost the part of me that keeps myself all calm...there's that little nagging part in my mind that says...if anything goes wrong, it'll be my fault since I requested this particular doc.

Josh is staying at my mom's tonight since he has school tomorrow and they are on the last day of TAKS Testing. He called tonight to talk to Meredith, said he couldn't sleep until he said goodnight to her and told her he loved her. I told him that I'd call the school tomorrow to let him know that's she's all done and everything is ok.

I'll send an update when we get home tomorrow afternoon~
