Good morning!!
Well, the ten days have passed since my last blog. Matthew and I got to take a “secret mission” for our one year anniversary. Every morning, Matthew gave me an envelope explaining what the day entailed. The first night we stayed in Richmond, VA at a Bed & Breakfast and then toured a few sites in the city. What a beautiful town! We stayed a night in La Plata, Maryland before heading to Baltimore for an Orioles’ game! And then spend our one year anniversary in our nation’s capitol – Washington, D.C.! I’m so thankful for this was a special get-a-way before Matthew’s surgery and classes begin.
So… today came! After a short sleep, Matthew, his parents, and I woke up at 4:15 to get to the hospital by 6am. Matthew was admitted, and I got to go to pre-op with him. The nurses were very nice. Electrodes were attached to his head to measure his nerve activity during surgery. The IV got started. Dr. Lim came to check on us and make sure Matthew was doing well. So… now, we wait – the surgery should be complete by 3pm… and Dr. Lim will come to talk to us afterwards, and then we should be able to see him by 4:30pm…
Matthew is in good hands with the doctor and nurses, but more importantly Matthew is in the Hands of the Ultimate Physician – who loves and takes care of us!! Thank you for your continued prayers today… (it’ll be a long day)
Sending our love to all of you from North Carolina…
(I’ll post an update later tonight.)
