Sunday night update: Tonight we went to Sweet Tomatoes for dinner. E ate like a horse. She was in excellent spirits. My mom was with us tonight at dinner and Emily told her all about her trip to the hospital tomorrow.
E is very excited about the fact that she gets to wake up in the middle of the night tonight and eat breakfast since she isn't allowed to eat after midnight tonight. She is only allowed to drink apple juice and water until 8am. So T and I are staying up late and we'll wake E up around 11:30pm to have breakfast or whatever it is that she wants to eat.
We're all packed for tomorrow. We want to thank everyone for their response to our email. We printed out each response and are taking them with us tomorrow as a physical reminder of your thoughts and prayers.
The general schedule for tomorrow:
8am: depart and drop Z off at school, head to the hospital
10am: check in, pre-op
11:30-noon(?): get started?
2pm-3pm (?): be done with the procedure
4-6 hours in recovery
Go home
But as my good friend tells me, I don't get to hold the map. God does. So it is out of my hands. We just have to roll with it and let E lead the way.
We'll see if we can update our blog from the hospital. xo to all.
