Surgery Day, 8:10 am

Stu is in the operating room now. They wheeled him in right at 7:30--I kissed him goodbye and told him that I love him--then I cried. One of my friends, Alison, was waiting for me in the surgery waiting room to take me to breakfast. I should get a call about 8:30 when they actually start the surgery. Stu's parents will arrive soon, and my parents will be here today as well.

Thank you to all of you who have been sending e-mails, comments on the blogs, and prayers. We have heard and felt them all. This is the day I have been dreading. I am always really good as a surgeon to make sure that I talk to families in the waiting room right away after surgery, as I see the stress they endure (even for very simple operations). Now I am in their shoes, and I hate it here.

Keep the prayers coming all day.

Deb
