We received a call late this afternoon that Maelyn's surgery has been moved to early tomorrow morning, rather than in the afternoon. Although I felt badly for the family who had to cancel their time slot due to their son or daughter being sick, I was jumping for joy at our good fortune!
One of my biggest worries was not being able to allow Maelyn to eat until 1pm tomorrow -- now with a surgery time of 9am, that is no longer such a concern. :)
We are going to have to get up bright and early tomorrow morning, at about 4:30, in order to make it to the hospital in time for the pre-op appointments. We are going to bring Maelyn right from her crib to the car, in the hope that she will sleep on the way to Sick Kids. If not, I have the car packed with some novel toys, to help distract her from the fact that she cannot eat or drink.
Our bags are packed and we are ready to go -- now to get a little sleep!
Thanks, AM and Julia -- your time and thoughtfulness meant more to me than you could ever imagine...

Much MUCH love and prayers, Jan. That the surgery is speedy and the doctor's hands sure, that you and Paul are calm, that Maelyn is peaceful and happy.
Will be thinking of you all day!
We'll be with you in spirit all day!
