Today is the day that we have been waiting for. My niece is in surgery right now as I type. This last week has been hard. I hate being stuck here when my sister and husband are in California with their adorable baby, who has been waiting for heart surgery. (If you want to know more details on the story go to www.babyabigailrose.blogspot.com) All week I have had my sister her baby and the rest of her family, constantly in my thoughts. I just can’t even imagine what they are going through as they anxiously wait to know what the outcome of the surgery. My heart aches for my sister, I wish I could be there by her side as they wait. When my brother was in the hospital my family and I spent 5 days by his side and with each other, we camped out in the waiting room and we would take turns on sitting by his side. Those days were different, no flu epidemic they let a lot more people into the hospital, no rules on ages etc. Even though the outcome of that situation was tragic, I look back on the memory fondly. All my brothers, sisters and parents were there together and that made the situation bearable. I hope that Lisa and Jeff know that if it were possible we would all be there with them and Abby camping out in the hall taking turns by her bedside. I hope they know that all of us here in Utah are there anxiously waiting with them in thought. We are all praying and hoping for the best!
