'Twas The Night Before Surgery

Last night was a busy but special night. Madi couldn't eat after midnight and won't be eating much, if anything, for a while. So we asked her what she wanted for her last meal for the week.

She chose...

FREDDIE'S!!

YUMMY!!

(Good choice madi!)

Then later, around 9:15, grandpa Danny and grandma Eldene came over to help Mike give her a blessing.

It was a beautiful blessing.

Tears were shed.

I love my husband more than words can say.

I'm grateful for men who faithfully honor their priesthood.

We have truly felt the love of our Savior.

We have felt the prayers of so many people.

It's a humbling experience to see the love that has been shown and the service that has been given to madi and our family.

We are so very, very, thankful.

Our cute neighbor, Pam, was nice enough to stay up late and french braid madi's hair for her so it wouldn't bug her during her stay at the hospital.

She looks super cute!! :)

Thanks, Pam!!!

By then, it was about 10:45 pm and I still had many things to do.

I walked out to the kitchen and Madi was sitting at the the table.

She was nervous.

She couldn't sleep.

I couldn't either.

My mind was racing.

SIGH.

She finally hit the hay about 11:30-ish.

Me, 12:30.

It was a long day.

But not as long as tomorrow will be.
