We got the word about 20 minutes ago that the surgery is a go! Nancy's last words to me as they wheeled her down the hall was "Don't worry Dad, God will take care of me". She had a
HUGE smile on her face and was very calm and "ready". I know all of your messages will mean so much to her when she recovers from surgery. We are looking at 10 to 12 hours, so the surgeon indicated he was thinking around 6 PM Eastern time. As we know more I will post here. Since my birthday is Christmas Eve, this will be the best gift ever for me and the best Christmas gift ever for Nancy, Hannah, Scott, and all of us who love her! Keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming! I know she loves you all!
