Woke up at 3am and didn't go back to sleep. Felt better once 7am rolled around. Mom mode-laundry, Siri to school (she's the best!), went for a walk, gave Jane and Ruby a bath. Sweet Jane was sneakily wrapping gifts for me (likely her own toys) to give me for my birthday tomorrow morning:) She is so thoughtful.
Felt calm. Dropped Jane at a friend/neighbor (thank you!) and checked in for surgery.
Delayed a while and after being tortured with a terrible Barbie movie, a child life specialist brought in toys movies and drawing stuff. Ruby is talented at being a patient patient. I am amazed by her. She asked for a snack once or twice but was ok when I had to tell her no since she had to be fasting. Mark and I were fasting too. It helped my physical body to be calm, and to understand how she was feeling.
Loved seeing a friend who dropped off lunch and a beautiful butterfly balloon. After Ruby went back, Mark and I said a prayer and had lunch in the Ronald McDonald room. It really is a peaceful comforting room (too bad it doesn't have a better name;) Sat outside in the sunshine for a bit. Listened to that song I posted above.
We just talked to the surgeon, all went as planned. Just waiting for Ruby to wake up so we can see her and go to a room. We hope to be home later tomorrow or Saturday:)
