Ain't No Party Like a Pre-Op Party, 'Cause a Pre-Op Party Don't Stop!

Well, here we are, friends.  The big day has arrived!  Peter and I arrived at Vanderbilt around 8:30 this morning, and they finally took him to surgery around 12:00.  I spoke with the nurse a few minutes ago and she said that they had just made the incision and were ready to get started.  Prayers and happy thoughts, please!  :)

Here are some photos of our experiences so far!

In the waiting area at Vanderbilt.  Let's get this party started!

Peter Francis, your table is now available.

Back in the Pre-Op holding room, where we had some pretty awesome nurses.  They were egging us on and taking pictures.  They even gave me a cool surgery hat to match Pete!

What's sexier than a brain tumor?  Hospital stockings!

All drugged up on happy juice and ready to head off with anesthesia.  Good luck, Pete!

It will be several more hours before I have another update, but I'll post to the blog as soon as I can.  Thank you everyone for all the love and prayers.  You're the best!
