One day to surgery...

The countdown is on, and I'm anxious and hopeful.
Mom is deteriorating rapidly and she is blissfuly unaware of it.

This past weekend we had a family wedding for her Sister's grandson (her Great-Nephew), and because of her faulty sense of time, she had great difficulty being able to understand what day and time the wedding was. She tried to get ready for the wedding on Friday, but I explained that the wedding was on Sunday, and tried to re-direct her to another task. Then on Sunday, she decided she HAD to do the task I had tried to get her to do on Friday before she could get ready for the wedding...leaving her little time to get ready. It was pretty hectic, and she didn't understand where the time went, but somehow we got there on time. The wedding was beautiful and we had a lovely visit with relatives we don't get to visit with often.

Everything is in place for the surgery. The pending cardiac clearance was received, and now we are now waiting for a call from the anesthesiologist on Tuesday evening before we head to the hospital early Wednesday morning. The surgery itself shouldn't take very long, nor should her hospital stay.

All prayers are welcome and encouraged, both for a safe & successful surgery; and for a positive outcome.

Unfortunatly my laptop got fried this past weekend, so I will be unable to blog, tweet or facebook updates from the hospital, but will post updates as soon as I can.
