Pre-Op Day
Hey Friends,
We're here in Fort Worth at the Ronald McDonald House! I really appreciate you, Anonymous (meow) for offering to cover our stay! Thanks to insurance covering so much of Lin's surgery, we're no longer spazzing out about all the expenses, but THANK YOU! Hugs! We've got it covered.
I have to make this super fast.
Just wanted to let you guys know the surgery won't start until after 1 p.m. Tuesday. We're second in line for surgery. And it's estimated to last 6 hours. We've completed all of the pre-op stuff for Miss Lin. She was a trooper.
My parents are all set up at the nearby RV park. The RMDH is incredible just as everyone said it would be. I can't believe just the amount of food they provide for free. Currently the toilet in our room is malfunctioning and the floor was all wet, but someone should be here within the hour to fix it or we'll change rooms. They've got everything from exercise rooms, to games rooms, to media rooms, to play rooms. There's kitchen after kitchen. I've never seen so many dishwashers in one place! Or refrigerators! This place is awesome. And they only charge $15 a night. Chili's is catering tonight's dinner. If you want a worthy charity to contribute to, this is the place.
I have to cut this short because my battery is about to die. Just wanted to give you guys an idea of what's going on.
Thanks as always for your thoughts and prayers! I'll update you as soon as I can.

I just got home from Utah (it's been killing me to not be able to check on you until now!) ... I've been thinking of you all day...
You all have been in my thoughts and prayers....
RMDH certainly rocks ... big time!!
It truly is a lifesaver for families in need.
RMDH is on the top of our donating list, that's for sure.
I'll be back for a post op update.
God bless and big heart (((hugs))).

In case anyone is checking back in the comment section - Lindley did great through her surgery! The valve needed repair only, not replacing! Please continue to pray for Lin as she recovers.
By Anonymous, at Wed Oct 03, 01:08:00 PM
Jenny, I have been thinking of you all and wondering how Lindley's surgery went. How are you holding up? Please update when you get a chance.
(((hugs))) and prayers,
Nancy

I apologize for tagging you. I added favorites to my list in tagging, haven't read your blog in days and hadn't realized that your daughter was having surgery. I am glad to hear she is doing well.
