Last night, Mike and Diana came to stay with Keith and I in Baltimore. We ate dinner and played Scrabble and went to bed early. Of course, Keith won the Scrabble game.
We made it to Mercy at about 8:30 a.m. this morning, Diana, Mike, Keith, and I. So far, we have met a lot of different people who are going to be a part of mom's surgery team. Mom is waiting for her lunch to come.
Of course we're all nervous but everyone has been friendly and nice and knowledgeable, answering our many questions. Mom is getting a better idea of what to expect in the coming days. Lots of tubes, but also lots of pain medication which should aid in her recovery and her mindset.
We have a lovely view of the Tremont and the Baltimore skyline. Dr. Sardi encourages family members to take a walk during the surgery, since he expects it to last between 6-14 hours and there's not much we can do in that time.
Diana goes in for surgery on Tuesday at 6:45 a.m. We will post here with any new updates.

Good luck tomorrow--you are in the best hands you could be in. Doug and I will both be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers, and we're sending Good Thoughts your way!
Best of luck and stay strong-
