Surgery Day

Hope is being prepped for surgery as I write this. We have consented for her to partake in an imaging study before the surgery, so even though it is 6:40ish now, her actual surgery will begin closer to 8:30. Monica and I were both able to hold her for a bit this morning before they came in to prep her for surgery. She seemed to melt in our arms as if that was the one thing she needed to make her complete.

We had a casual Baptism ceremony at her bedside last night. Many thanks to my dad and to our dear friends Mike and Shannon for being a part, and many thanks to Tony Sundermeier for leading the ceremony after a very full day.

More to come...
