And we wait

We are in hour 4 of Amy's surgery. The last update we got was 2 hours ago and we were told the Dr was still making his way through all of the scar tissue on Amy's back from her previous surgery. He hadn't even gotten to the spine yet. We were here at 5:30 this morning. Amy was so excited, you'd think it was Christmas the way she was acting. She didn't know exactly what was going on, she just knew the Dr was going to work on her back and she was going to get to stay in the hospital for a few days with Momma and Daddy. That makes her feel special and that's all she needed to act special. She didn't stop grinning from ear to ear and making everyone act until they gave her some "dopey medicine" then she was still grinning but she couldn't keep her head up anymore. They didn't stick her with any needles until they put her to sleep, thank goodness for that.



Brent and I are sitting in the waiting room. We were the first to arrive this morning, we've seen this waiting room fill up and empty again. The candy stripers left for the day because almost all of the surgeries are over. We have to answer the phone at the desk now until the doctors call. I've seen a lot of strange protocol at this hospital so why shouldn't waiting parents answer the desk phone?

Please keep praying.
