Surgery is less than 48 hours away. We leave when I get off work tomorrow for Albq. but I won't know the time for the surgery until tomorrow afternoon. I hope it's in the morning; it's so hard having Brooke fast when she doesn't understand why and I hate her having to sit around a motel room worrying about what's coming. We haven't said anything to her yet and won't until we get to the hospital. She'll know soon enough and there's no need to stress her out right now.
We have an appointment for 1:00 Thursday with Dr. Libby to get the GCSF shot, but no word on whether or not insurance will cover it or not? The girl I talked to today from UNM seemed to think they would. I hope so! The shot itself comes with its own side effects so pray for Brooke to tolerate it well.
Finally...pray for a successful surgery. Pray for no problems with the meds, no problems with the teeth, and no infection. Pray for steady and skilled hands to operate on her and for a speedy recovery with limited pain. Ask that God guide us in knowing what to do to bring Brooke comfort. And especially pray for a sterile environment and for Brooke's ability to ward off any germs. As with any surgery there is risk...ask God to protect Brooke and to wrap his loving arms around her.
Thank you all for the prayers and especially for the friendship. I couldn't do it without you! Please don't forget to ask for strength for Mike and I...this is so emotionally and physically exhausting. We love you all!
