Dear Sydney,
It is 12:15 at night and I couldn't let myself go to bed without writing on your blog. So, here I am typing on the computer as you and Dad are fast asleep. We finally scheduled your surgery today! Me and Linda (that is the name of the woman who scheduled it with me) have become quite good friends. Ha. She was very nice and was so willing to answer all of my questions. Surgery will be on August 10 and you will have to go in for another pre-op the day before on August 9. Yes, you will have two pre-ops. One about a week before surgery and the other a day before surgery. I think we'll all be glad when our time at Primary Children's will be over.

The surgeons don't just treat you like another random person that walks through their doors. Linda told me that every wednesday morning the surgeons get together for a conference and discuss the patients they will be working with in the near future. As a team of surgeons, they all discuss each patient individually and how to best meet each one's needs. Linda said that they will be discussing you, Sydney, and that if the doctors decide to do anything different then she will be giving me a call to let me know. My experience so far with Primary has been nothing but amazing. Dr. Judd is incredible and all of the secretaries I have spoken to have been very helpful and well educated in the hospital procedures. I have never felt like they didn't know what they were talking about.

We are getting family pictures taken tomorrow. I am so excited. We are taking them at an old barn and in a wheat field. It will be beautiful. I will be sure to post the pictures once I have them.

Well, my bed is calling my name. I love you.

Love Always, Mom
