SURGERY UPDATE 1

Surgery began at 11:20 AM and the latest word is that she is doing well and they were in the process of removing her old worn out diseased lungs as of 1:00 PM EST!  Since the surgery began later than we expected, it will likely be sometime later tonight before the surgery is completed.  It hardly seems possible that the call came almost 12 hours ago, so we are hopefully half way to the end of the first 24 hour period we've long waited for!  My lack of sleep is beginning to take its toll on me, so bear with me as the hours tick by!  

Nancy's Dad, Vance

Dear Nancy,

I was overjoyed this morning when I checked your blog, to find you were in the hospital awaiting your new lungs! Had to keep the tears in since I was trying to give all the kids breakfast! I am thinking about you the whole day, and sending love and positive thoughts your way. I am really appreciating the updates from you poor tired dad! Please keep them coming, we are all on tenterhooks!

Much much love to the whole family, and soooooo happy for you to get such a wonderful early Christmas present,

xoxo
Claire
