Surgery Preparations

Well, I think I'm just about ready to head off to surgery. My bag is packed, I've written 4 legal pages of instructions for the mothers who will be here over the next 5 days to care for Savannah, caught up the laundry and dishes, instructed Dave on dinners for the next few days, Savannah's lunch is ready for WEE school, I've gathered some magazines to keep me busy, charged the laptop and cell phone, said good night to Savannah for a few days, washed in my special body soap from the hospital (boy was that a treat) and have reviewed my list of no's for the morning:

• NO jewelry
• NO hairbands
• NO finger nail polish
• NO makeup
• NO food or drink
• NO contacts (I plan to break this one)
• NO personal items
• YES to clean clothes - it was on the list!!

Although I am still quite anxious about everything, I have already felt the prayers of our many friends and family. Through these prayers I have been able to hold it together today for a really fun day with Savannah. Plus, it helps that my husband doesn't seem worried at all. I think the fact that we have to get up at 4am is the worst part for him. I praise the Lord for a husband who is so strong and so NOT a worrier! Hopefully the next time I update this blog I'll be comfortably recovering from a successful surgery with a baby still healthy as can be. Until then, keep on praying! :)
