First off thanks to my parents for first of all having my dad come out and offer his help even though with the cancelled and rescheduled surgery he was unable to stay until her surgery date and for donating a bit of money to us to help with the extra expenses incurred by staying longer. I want to also thanks to the P family for their donation.
Alena's rescheduled surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:30 surgery start time. We are supposed to get to the hospital about "6-6:30" as the guy said (yeah couldn't be more specific I guess. We are planning on getting there at 6 just to be on the safe side. Such a early start time means that Alena is the first case of the day and should get a room (hopefully) and not have so much drama. It also means for us that she has more time to become stable before visiting hours (for Teague at least) are over. She has been telling us that she is scared of the "hurt" and "sad" but that she is ready to be all done. Oddly enough she seems quite ready and willing to get it over with, she's such an amazingly brave little human being!!
On the subject of the delay, I did talk to a social worker at the hospital on Friday and they said that they would cover the hotel expenses for us for the weekend (tremendously helpful). Tomorrow we are changing hotels to a cheaper hotel we have found as well as Alena's surgery. In a way it was nice to be able to be together as a whole, happy family for father's day and for my birthday (today) even though it meant being delayed. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Father's day yesterday (I know we had fun riding a train into San Fran for some fun.) I will more than likely post an update tomorrow at the end of the day but until then please feel free to add yourself to the Facebook group by the same name.
