morning of surgery

What a morning. We were up at 5:00AM to shower and get ready. we thought the walk from our hotel to the hospital would take around 20 minutes but it was only 5 minutes. Parkway Hotel is very nice for anyone ever planning a trip to the Childrens Hospital. Once we arrived at the hospital we checked in and were taken to the same day surgery center where we were given our private waiting room, its very nice. Lily and mom and I played for about a half an hour in there until we were called to surgery prep. Lil was smiling for all the doctors and we have been told many times her smile makes everyones day. The doctors came by the surgery prep room at about 8:00 am to escort Lily and Tara and I to the operating room doors. One could never imagine how tough it is to hand over your child to the care of the surgeons. Lily was a champ and didn't make a peep. In fact she fell asleep in the arms of one of the surgery nurses after mom carefully handed her over.

Thats about all we have for now, I think Tara and I are getting ready to go get some coffee and some food. Lily's grandparents are here with ,helping us as needed. We will let you know more when we hear something.

Here are some photos of Lil in the prep room
