Thank God the surgery was successful. The doctor had a hard time finding the perfect vein on the other leg of my husband but glad he found it after searching for quite a while. The surgery lasted for 4 hours and hubby had to stay in the ICU for 24 hours and transferred him to private room. When he was in the room, he asked his doctor if I can stay (and the kids) over night and they said no problem. In fact they provided us a bed and guess what? The bed was comfortable just like the sleep number bed but when four of us were already sleeping; one staff came inside and said that the kids can’t stay over night! Could you imagine our reaction? Well, we have to follow the hospital rules or else we will be deported! My husband called the Hilton Hotel to pick us up in the main entrance of the hospital at exactly 9:40 PM.
