The night before surgery

Many well-wishers have called, emailed and messaged us to wish us good luck and a speedy recovery. We VERY MUCH appreciate all the support as we prepare for Jasmine's cleft palate surgery. Jasmine has been in good spirits and good health this past week and has decided to sleep 12-13 hours every night, straight through. Is it possible she is preparing herself in her own intuitive way? Perhaps so, and because of this, I've been able to sleep a little extra too, fortifying me for what I expect will be a tough couple of weeks. Dr. Rubenstein, Jasmine's surgeon, expects that she will stay 1 night in the hospital unless there are complications, so we hope to be home and on the recovery road by mid-week. We know this is a bear of a surgery but after dodging the tracheal-reconstruction bullet, we are only grateful that we are on this path. We will keep you all posted as soon as we are able.
