Port Surgery Day!

UPDATE: 8:05am... Julia is out of surgery and in recovery.  Everything went great.  They were able to use the same incision for removal.  Dr. Pranikoff came out to talk with me a few minutes ago.  The tears started flowing as soon as when I saw him.  I didn't expect that to happen at all.  We haven't seen him since he removed her cancer back in March.  It is very surreal to be in this waiting room again where we were the day she was diagnosed.  Today is a happy day and we are so thankful God has brought us to this point and for wonderful doctors like him.

UPDATE: 7:35am... The OR nurse just called and said things are going well and Julia is such a good little girl.  She has about 20 min left in surgery.  Then she will head to recovery.

The big day is here- the port is coming out :)

Julia is doing well.  She woke up during the night trying to find her water cup and was upset she couldn't have it back.  She was okay though when I woke her at 5am.  We had an easy drive to the hospital- no snow, yet.  David Crowder Band was playing on the radio on our drive in.  His music carried us through her last surgery.  God is so cool like that!

 They took us back and she has been doing good with everything.  She does not seem upset by any of it.  She is very excited about getting this port out.  They wheeled her back with her two dogs by her side.

Thanks for all your prayers! We expect the surgery to take about an hour...
