Preop Success

Today was a quick trip to Jackson, MS ( 2 hours from home) for the preop procedures:

Hospital Admissions paperwork : Check
2 vials of blood: Check
EKG: Check

Met with nurse to go over paperwork and procedures: Check

The process was very relaxed due to the wonderful care I received. I have never been to that hospital but I left feeling a part of their family. During the meeting with the nurse I mentioned something about my hometown - Natchez - only to find out she had worked with Lottie Smith (Fairview memories) and Jake Middleton's wife. She loves you, Jake!

I find myself with hours to go! I have been instructed to be at the hospital by 7:00 am on Thursday morning. Charles and I have decided to go to Brooke's house in Flowood tomorrow. (Charles' daugther) A special antibacterial soap was given to me to use for my bathes the next two days. Kacy...I talked to her about my request for hand washing and shared the terrible ordeal you went through when you had Archer. She agreed.

I'm not sure I have mentioned my surgeon. Those who do know Dr. Philip Ley have spoken so highly of him and his reputation as a oncology surgeon. There have been many who have had him as a surgeon or a family member has. I'm grateful that God's leadership directed us this way.

I can't leave this post without saying again THANK YOU to all of you who have called, emailed, sent text messages and are praying for me. I am humbled by the outpouring of you love.

Well, I have fixed my first of two Sprite and Magnesium Citrate cocktails....YUMMY! So, here is to a successful surgery, recovery and to continue down my life's path.

I will keep you posted!

PS...there is a little 2 year old boy named Ryan who is battling Leukemia. He is on day 11 of a 100 day isolation and treatment. I don't know his last name, but Jesus does. Please pray for him.
