Ben's surgery is set. We are supposed to arrive at Children's Hospital at...wait...this is good...6:30 AM!!!! AAAHHHH. Ben can not eat anything after midnight tonight and can have clear liquids until 5:30a. After 5:30a, he can not have anything!! That's going to be the tough part ~ denying Ben food is really, really rough. We will need to check in at the hospital and prepare Ben for an 8:30a surgery. The surgery will last approximately 45 minutes. He will stay in recovery for about two hours and then they will move him to a hospital room. He will have to stay over-night at the hospital. We will stay with him at the hospital overnight and hope that all goes well for a Friday morning release.Cailey is going to spend tonight with her friend Lauren (thank you Terra! You are the best!). I didn't want to have to wake her up and get her ready that early in the morning...Cailey is NOT a morning person, so I think this is a really great solution. We will pick her up tomorrow afternoon ~ after surgery and after Ben is moved to his hospital room.
I am sad that we have to put Ben through this. My head tells me it is best in the long-run, but it will break my heart to see him in so much pain.
Stay tuned. Wish us well.

I'm praying for you guys! An adult friend of mine just got hers out and she said the recovery was really rough. On the bright side, Ben will have no memory of it in a few years!
