We wheeled Mom across the street to the St. Mary's/Mayo around 5:30 this morning. The whole intake process this morning was really impressive how efficient everything is. You have a nurse communicator assgined to your family who makes sure you know what's going on throughout the day. We left Mom about 7 for her to go and get prepped for surgery. We asked my Dad where he wanted to go for breakfast and he explained that the breakfast at the hotel was "Very, Very Good". After eating the breakfast, he later conceded that it didn't deserve the two Verys and maybe not even the good.


Mom's surgery began at 8:15AM CST. The nurse communicator let us know something in two hours. Please be praying for her. I talked to Cathie this morning and Nate's prayer was "God, please help Grandma not be scared, because this is going to be scary for her." Emliy's was "God, please help Grandma have a great day in the hospital."
