Lauren

So the have taken lauren back for surgery. They gave her some “funny” meds to calm her down while we where back there. She was getting really fussy while we where waiting and holding her. The meds helped relax her and us since we also where getting stressed out trying to hold/calm/play etc… with her.

The doctor said the surgery should take about 3 hours give or take. They took her back around noon and we have yet to hear if they started it or not. We are assuming they have or will soon. The goal is for her to be out of the hospital by Sunday afternoon. They are also wanting to put her on step down (a step below PICU) after the surgery but last we heard there was not an available bed. We will see where they put her, they are trying to get a bed open. They have a few hours and will have a place for her so we are not really worried about that.

Also some of you have heard that I received a call this morning from my Dad letting me know they found my Uncle Larry dead in his apartment in San Diego. They think he has been dead for 2-4 days but won’t know for sure until they finish the autopsy. I am not sure what type of arrangements are going to be made but I should know more later this evening. If they do decided to do a funeral I am hoping to be there pending how Lauren is doing post surgery and if we can come up with the cost of a round trip ticket to either San Diego or Chicago pending what my father and my other uncle decided to do.

Please be praying for both Lauren with her surgery and my fathers side of the family as this death was unexpected.
