Hi Everyone,
Jeff went into surgery at about 8:00 AM- he looked really cute in his gown and booties! :) He was a little nervous but in good spirits, I think he was just excited to finally get started. Jeff's sister, Ann, and I had a small breakfast and are in the waiting room with TONS of other anxious families.
Mayo is something else, and has been quite an experience. When we arrived at 6:00 AM we waited in a line to check in. We were then transferred to another waiting area until our names were called. They then herded us up to the 1st floor where everyone was placed in a different room- there Jeff changed his clothes and met with a nurse who asked him a million questions! Ann and I both had to laugh when she asked Jeff if he had any piercings! It was obvious she that didn't know our Jeff! :) Immediately upon sitting down in the waiting area, a "nurse communicator" introduced herself to us. She said that she would keep us updated throughout the entire procedure. When we told her our cell phone numbers, she asked if we were from the Omaha area, seems she just moved to Rochester from Omaha, so we are in good hands.
So, right now we are just waiting. I will up update the blog as soon as we know more. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers, they mean the WORLD to us.
Kim

Maybe Jeff could get some piercings while he is under (or maybe a tatoo). That is so funny! Hang in there girl!

Kim and Jeff,
ReplyDeleteHeard the news from Jess Trotter and am still a little mad at Nancy for not telling me. I'm actually over it. Just wanted to let you know that I am happy to help in any way I can. It is a journey and we are glad it's getting started and hopefully going to be just a matter of recovering now. You and your family are in are thoughts and prayers. I'll stay in touch.
