Updates..

I wanted to give y'all some updates! 

My husband and I sat down and talked to our son Logan who is 7, about the upcoming surgery and what is going on with Lilly. He has know she is sick, but telling him about the surgery was a big deal to him, he asked why they are doing this and we explained it is to hopeful find out an answer to why she is sick. He took everything pretty well and had lots of questions. He told us he wanted to help so we asked him if he could help daddy pick out some toys for Lilly to play with while she recoved from surgery it would be a big help, he smiled and said he new exactly what she needed and what would make her happy. 

The day of the surgery Logan will spend it with his best friend Payton, my friend Shy (Payton's mom) was more then happy to spend the day with Logan and keep his mind off of what was happening. Thank you Shy!!! You and your family have been so good to us.

My mom is planning on going with us to the hospital. It's nice to have the support of family!

I have pre-registered Lilly for her surgery and paid the hospital the cost of using the outpatient surgery room (this doesn't include the doctors fees, anesthesiologist fees, lab fees and other hospital fees). She has a pre-op appointment Thursday morning and she will also get a tour of the hospital. The hospital provides a program to explain and show kids what is going to be happening the day of surgery to take some of the fear away. 

We have had some very nice donations and thank you to everyone who has donated so far! You have helped us cover the fee for the hospital and some of the lab work, now we just need help covering the rest of the costs!!
