We spent some time with an awake Carter this morning. You could tell he was hungry (they stopped feeding him at midnight), but he was being a trooper and not crying. The surgeon talked to us and confirmed that the MRI was good and described the incision he's going to make under Carter's arm.

Carter went in to get ready for surgery around 10:30am. I just got an update that they were just about to begin the operation at 11:15am. It should take 2 to 3 hours.
