Surgery date

We have a surgery date, April 9th... that's just one short week from now and significantly sooner than I had thought. However, this timing will be good in several ways. The kids are on spring break next week so caring for James will be easier and Katie will miss slightly less school.

Dr. V has decided not to save the ureter for possible later use so while it worries me a little bit it will make for an easier surgery, a likely shorter hospital stay and recovery. The inpatient stay will be just until we can be assured her postoperative pain can be controlled with oral meds. Dr. V thinks maybe just overnight.

Prayers will be very appreciated :o)
