Hi friends,
We had to wake up at 3:00 am and give Hannah a shower with special soap to prevent infection. We did this last night as well. To her credit she didn't mind singing about her family and her beloved "Lucy" so early.
Last night we did the usual, spaghetti dinner...this time at Mama Lucia's her favorite.
She was good up until we went in the OR and tried to calm her down by singing. Thank Goodness the gas mask works so quick.
Today is the day the new staff, residents, fellows etc. come on board, so Hannah was the subject of about 10 newcombers. We thought she would be scared but our little Miss Social was flirting asking each their names. Does she know how to work a crowd.
Tim is being productive and my brain already hurts from only 3 hours sleep...Just like when the kids were babies. The doctors said they may not need the neurosurgeon, it just depends how the spinal cord reacts when they start bending or cutting the bone. The actual surgery will be about 6hours...plus prep. It took them 2 hours before they started.
Thanks for your support. We are feeling rather positive, loved, and calm right now!

Katie and Tim,
It's 2:10 and I'm sure by now Hannah is in the home stretch, if not out of surgery already. We hope the new residents met Hannah's criteria of exceedingly friendly and handsome. Hannah is now officially inducted into the Bionic Spine Society. The cell phone is attached to my hip, day or night.
Much love,
Lynn and Carlyn
I hope all is going well. I have not posted in a while on HHH and to my surprise when I got on there today there is so much going on. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
