8am. Shannon phoned from the Lucille Packard Hospital a few minutes ago. They are waiting for Wren to be taken into surgery as the heart team are finishing the first case. The good news is that the hospital do have a room available for Wren post surgery and so they can go ahead. Shannon said that it was apparent from the tests conducted yesterday that Wren really did need this surgery.
Meanwhile Wren is rather fed up with being short of food (since 4am). Shannon has found a distraction for him - he found some small snails, "nunnus" in Zulu and Wren language, in the courtyard.
They have about another hour to wait.
We will wait and hope for good news later in the day.
9am Latest update - Wren will go into pre-op area with Shannon & Josh at 9.30 - with the operation to start at 10am.

Oh..you guys will be in my prayers.
You've got yourself another Heart-mama stalker on your hands!!! Your little Wren is just TOO darn cute!
Isn't that Hanson the sweetest. He had to tell us three different times that Isaac's surgery had to be bumped...you can tell that some people just aren't nice about it. It's amazing how many babies are back in the CVICU. I HOPE you're in and OUT FAST!!!
Glad to hear surgery is moving as scheduled without any delays.
I'm sure in some ways it's hard to believe this day has finally arrived.
Your family is in my thoughts.
Good news so far...no huge delays, yay! Praying for you guys..xxoxo
