Cannon is officially under anesthesia.
Arterial lines are in, this will facilitate the input of massive doses of drugs throughout the surgery.
They are prepping for a [watch this] transesophageal echocardiogram. This is where they put a probe down his esophagus to get a close-up echo of the heart... it's the closest thing they got to taking a picture of the heart from the inside before making the decision to open him up. They'll make sure the heart looks exactly as they expect from all angles, then proceed with popping the hood and rebuilding the motor. We'll get another update at 9:30.
