Surgery Day 7:30am

So we arrived at the hospital around 5:45am and around 6:30 they gave Riley a sedative. I (dad) took the opportunity to snuggle up with her and help her rest. So we napped till they came to get her at 7:20. At that time Riley woke up and gave mom and I a little smile. Mom and I are suprisingly good - this may unfortunately mean that we are getting used to doctors taking our baby from us. They will be calling us once the actual surgery starts which should be around 8:30 or so. Thank you again to everyone yesterday who sent along their thoughts and well wishes. Sorry Michele and I didn't answer our phones much - we just wanted to get through the day. We still greatly appreciate all the love and caring that everyone has given - it means the world to us.
