Default Praying for simplicity!

Carrie - you're on my mind today and I'll be thinking of you all day until I hear something tomorrow. Even my husband asked if you'd gone in yet. So many minds and hearts are with you!

I'll pray for a simple solution that has a quick recovery! And that your surgeon is beset with great brilliance and divine skill and intuition tomorrow morning.

You - I know - will be fine. After dealing with all you've dealt with in the past few months, I am sure you will get through with flying colors.

But I'll pray anyway! Just in case.

Jen - we'll be counting on you to keep us updated - I know you will!

Carrie - once more - all my best. I'll be wearing my canadian panties in your honor tomorrow.

wow you are all amazing! i am a bit nervous this morning, feeling a bit scared too i will admit, and then i come on here and know i will be fine, cuz you all say so and you are all sending me healing strength.

Jen will keep you posted, as will Leah (Daisy) im sure too. I am leaving in about 15 minutes, going to make the 3.5+ hour drive to my in-laws and my mother-in-law will drive me to the hospital tomorrow - i will know sometime after 3pm today what time my surgery will be tomorrow, i will let jen and leah know and then at least one of them will let you know.

thank you, your energies will get me through this week, i will think of my family and all of you when im going under - they say to think good things just before the anesthetic.

love you all, talk to you soon.

I'm in CA... and right now it's 7:30am but in NY it's 10:30... so I'm thinking she will go in sometime in the next 30 minutes if they are the same as NY...

Praying hard the surgeon will see the problem and fix her right away...no fuss no bother....

She is so brave....

It's 11:00 in Medicine Hat right now. Thinking about you Carrie and sending all thoughts and prayers your way.

I will be on pins and needles waiting for an update from Jen. A huge thank you to Jen and Leah for keeping us updated today.
