Surgery went well, thankfully no real surprises just pretty routine. Dr. Duke revealed his plan to start grafting this Friday. Wow, he's finally mentioned a real date! Now we just pray that everything is able to go as planned. It appears that we're taking the next step!
On an unrelated note here is a little message I got from mom earlier today:
A Mennonite choir is going to come sing for us today! They spend 6 months here at Memorial Hermann volunteering. These young men come from all over--- Canada, Ohio, Kansas, etc. They do not know each other before they volunteer here but they sound like a fine tuned barber shop quartet (quartet + 2--there were 6 of them). They sang religious songs and as soon as they began dad and I looked at each other and we were equally amazed. Dad whispered "They're REALLY GOOD!" Their last song,"Amazing Grace", brought tears to my eyes. They volunteer all over the hospital, filling in on various floors. How lucky we were to be treated to this glorious impromptu concert!!
This group probably had no idea how much mom (and dad) would like their little performance. I actually texted mom and said "Little do they know what this really means to you!", of course she replied "You are so RIGHT!" As the group was finishing up their songs, it was time to take dad to surgery. The hospital transport technician waited outside dad's door so they could finish first.
Thanks so much to these fine men and women. It was really the highlight of the day!
