At the hospital

Casey is sleeping and we are in the waiting room at Children's Hospital. Her surgery is scheduled for 5 hours starting at 9:30am PST, so we will post more afterwards when she is settled in ICU.

Green Light

We are cleared for surgery on Tuesday. We do not have a time of day yet, but Casey will get her feet and ear tubes done in just a few days. We have made sure that everyone is VERY aware of previous issues as well as all of her current risk factors. Our biggest concern …
