It's Monday. The kids are in school and Jud went fishing to de-stress. Most of the house cleaning is done. The loads of laundry are just about washed. I just have to finish cleaning the garage and tidy up my office and craft room. My parents are able to help out with the little man for the week by staying with him (and hopefully keeping him in line) while we spend the better part of the week in Jackson. Surgery begins at 7:30 in the morning. We leave at 5:30 from home and hop over the pass to St. John's Medical Center in Jackson. When everyone gets home this afternoon, we probably ought to review this tidy little packet that the hospital provided to acquaint us with what to expect.


It will be a long day of surgery. She will be in ICU for the first day or two before being moved to the Primary Care Unit. We ask that you hold off on your visit until the day after surgery. If you will be visiting while she is in ICU, please keep in mind that the hospital has greater restrictions in that unit. I'm sure that Anni will be tickled happy to see family, friends and gifts during her stay but you may want to wait to visit, do the Macarena with her, and give gifts until she has been moved to PCU. Mylar balloons are the only types allowed in the hospital (something about potential allergens). Her expected stay is about 5 days in the hospital so we hope to be home by the end of the week.
