If you want the answer to this question, you're at the right place. A few people have asked me to "let them know how the surgery went" or "give them a call to let them know." I so appreciate everyone's care for us, but I can't even remember who asked me to call them. And I guarantee by tomorrow morning I won't even remember I typed this. Those who know me, know my memory isn't the greatest. Given the circumstances right now it is even worse. So, if you want to know how Leslie's surgery went, come back right here. This is the place to find out.
I'm not sure how I'll be able to do with the phone, as far as calls go (having my phone on in the hospital, etc...). But I can post to my blog from my phone (so I'll go outside or to a window to get a signal and make a quick post). It won't be fancy, may have misspellings, and will certainly be missing proper capitalization. But I can at least send out a quick update that way and everyone can find out quickly.
The surgery is to begin at 7:30 AM. She's the first for the day so we hope that it will be close to 7:30. The doctor says it will be 2-3 hours with 45 minutes in recovery. So by mid-morning I should be able to post something. If you don't see anything, don't fret. There could be a dozen things or more that may prevent me from updating the site. But I'll get something online as soon as possible.
Today has been hard for Leslie so far. Not being able to eat anything, she is weak. The kids don't understand, and they're bored. So thankfully Kristin, our sister-in-law, came over with lunch and medicine for Leslie. My dad is going to pick up McGrooter and Leslie's folks are going to get the girls after naps and take them for pizza. Pray that Leslie will be as comfortable as possible and maybe even get some rest (she is SO tired).
On a lighter note, my good friend Van sent me an email to say that someone Googled "Seth and Leslie Wallace" and ended up at his blog. Guess I need to put something like this "Seth and Leslie Wallace" to get our page ranked! :-)
THe hospital in general has no cell phone restrictions anymore. Too hard to enforce unless you confiscate (?) them at the doors, and no one will do that! Now the signal thing is a different story.
ResponderEliminarAlso... Van's blog is still the #1 result for google's search! :)
Will check back tomorrow from our remote location. Sure wish you would have let Micah go with us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just heard about all this yesterday. I am soooo sorry this is part of God's plan for your family but so grateful He's in charge. Can't imagine your having to face this without a personal faith in the Living God. Please give my love to Leslie. Have added her to my friends with cancer prayer list. And I wear a pink bracelet to help me pray for Laura Black and will pray for Leslie as well. I'll check the site tomorrow for your update.
ResponderEliminarJust in from a short trip, and tried to call Les on her cellphone, must have had an out-of-date # with me. Be assured of our prayers for peace, wisdom, skill, significance of it all. Not one adrenalin rush from heaven during this whole thing. We can trust Him. Love to you both,
