Checked In

Well, this is a change of pace. For once, Cole had a scheduled surgery, and we were able to check in through regular registration. In the past, each time Cole had a scheduled surgery, he always found a way to insure that we would have to go through the ER the night before and spend 6-8 hrs in the ER. We got up early and took the dogs to boarding. They were very happy, both for the car ride and to be able to play with all their friends at Camp Bark-a-lot. All went well in pre-surgery, with the small exception that once again they had a hard time placing his IV. But he was a trouper! Dr. Siddiqi, the plastic surgeon, met with us and reviewed his surgery and took pictures of all sides of Cole's head. Maybe that helps him remember how to put him back together.




So now, we are in the waiting area. The surgery is expected to take approximatley 5 hrs, so we

went and got donuts from the cafeteria. We gave a priesthood blessing to Cole last night.

We are so grateful for the peace that knowledge of the Plan of Salvation and of the Atonement brings. And so grateful to be have the power of the Priesthood in our home. Thanks to everyone for all your prayers. We will post another update when we know more. So stay tuned.
