There was also a letter from Dr. Beebe's office with the dates for the pre-op conference, surgery and the first post-op visit. It also has the title of the procedure (posterior spinal fusion, posterior spinal instrumentation, allograft). For those of you who know what I do for a living, no I do not have this coded--yet. I need more detail.
We have our list of questions started and will have them answered on June 3 at the pre-op conference.
Some have asked about being at the hospital on the day of surgery. We have been told that only 2 people can be there that day due to the space in the surgery waiting areas. It is relatively small when you consider the number of operations Nationwide Children's Hospital performs on a daily basis. So, it will just be Duane and myself and our pastor--because apparently pastors are not people and/or don't count.
This is pretty much what we know at this point. We have a lot of questions--some that will be answered around June 3 and more that will be answered after surgery.
Allie is still doing well with all of this. She says that she is excited to have the surgery and is looking forward to how God may use her throughout this process.

At the beginning of May, Allie was in her school's play productions. They performed two 1-act plays: A Little Princess in which she played the baker and Bernice Bobs Her Hair in which she played Mrs. Harvey and the barber. She did a great job with both! This picture is of Allie as Mrs. Harvey (along with Brittany and Savitha). She is planning to join the drama team again next year and they will be doing a musical! We are hoping for The Sound of Music, or anything that my side of the family knows so that we can sing along with the cast (and embarrass Allie).
