We had to wake Gracelyn this morning at 5:00 a.m so that she could be done eating by 5:30. We set the alarm, but she woke up around 4:30 a.m. :( I spent the rest of the morning just holding her as she slept. Mr. C decided to join us and I couldn't keep him from "loving" her.

Before we left Grandpa and Daddy gave her a blessing. As always, Jeff gave her a beautiful blessing. He blessed her to be strong and the doctors to be guided to do what was best for her. On our way to Primary's the hospital called looking for us. The doctor was way ahead of schedule. They wanted her right then. We went to check in and the doctor was there waiting for us. He told us that they were going to go in and "look around" first. Once they got a good look they would decide what would be best to do. They have the possibility of opening the shunt and/or stent. He hopes that they will be able to do something to buy her a few more months before they operate and replace her shunt. The surgery is scheduled to last four hours and she is scheduled to stay overnight. She has been in for an hour and a half now. We hope to hear from them soon. Sweet Gracelyn right before she went in. She was so happy and just smiled at the nurses as they took her away.
