Surgery Waiting Room

This will be a day of waiting . . . . .

Elizabeth, my niece, and Kristi, my sister were admitted to Children's Mercy Hospital yesterday afternoon in order to prepare for today's surgery.  Ron and Jane, my brother and sister-in-law, spent the night last night.  They said that nurses woke Elizabeth up at 3:30 this morning to start the process.   She left the room about 7:30 to head down to surgery.  They will do her nefrectomy (removal of both kidneys) first.  Kristi will go down to surgery about 9:00 a.m. as her surgical process is much shorter.

All together, they are telling us Liz's surgery will take from 6-8 hours, while Kristi's will be 3-4.  Liz will go to the ICU after recovery; Kristi will go to a regular room.

Thank you for praying along with us today.
