Happy Father's Day - procedure coming up

We took this pic yesterday at Greg's sister's house. This is Greg's dad. We saw my dad in the early afternoon and his later in the afternoon. We went to the cemetery to Mav's grave after we left from seeing Greg's family. Father's Day wasn't easy for any of us - especially Greg. We're thankful to have both our dad's still here and they are wonderful, but there was still a void. There always will be.

My mom and Brown came into Shawnee yesterday evening. They're staying here for a few days due to the procedure. It's tomorrow @ Children's. I'm hoping all will go well. It should start around 10:30 - if the procedure before me is on time. You know how hospital time works. It could be 3:00pm before I go in - we'll see. I'll have someone update the blog when it's finished. If it works, I'll spend the night at Presby tower. If not, I'll be home in the evening. I'm a bit apprehensive about all this. I'm not really worried about anything going wrong, but I'm nervous about going back into Children's. I haven't been back since Mav died. One of my Mediflight friends now works in the cath lab at Children's, so it will be nice to have someone I know well there.

When my dad came over on Sunday he asked about the procedure and how it worked. I started to explain it and Greg said, "Why don't you pull up a video on the computer?" Brilliant idea. Dad said it helped him understand it a lot better. I'm posting a link below for anyone else who's curious how it works. I may not have the exact same device, but the concept is the same.

Well, enough for now. I need to go pack my bag. Say some extra prayers. Love you all, jc
