What an incredible dope I am!!

So we got into NY yesterday, no problem, went to the pediatrician, got the ok for surgery. We got Lina her cheeseburger, and I tucked LIna into bed. I couldn't sleep, all of which is very normal. I checked the clock fell asleep around 3:00. I had set the alarm for 6:00 am and had my cell set....but I awoke to the phone at 8:30 (surgery was scheduled for 8:00) it was Nancy from Dr. Rose's office wondering where the heck I was. Lina and I were in a cab in 7 minutes flat. Dr. Rose had arranged to get a surgical suite at 10:30 and when I arrived at the hospital he gave me a hug and said, "The first thing we need to do is settle you down, stuff happens, we were worried about you, because you are so on top of things." I am so thankful he is such a kind person, he really had every right to be angry with me. I called Lea, as she always puts things in perspective for me, and she said God just didn't want us here at 8:00----I wonder when I'll forgive myself for this one...Lina was extremely upset this time. I carried her into surgery and the sleepy machine wasn't ready, so she got even more worked up, and was dry heaving...I settled her down and she went to sleep. Dr. Rose estimates surgery will take about 3-4 hours, very short in comparison, I'll post when she is out of surgery. I read Matthew 24 last night---it will be a incredible day when Jesus comes again...I know Lina will be the first to join him as she most certainly is one of his angels. I am truly in awe of her! Keep praying my friends, and please post a Hello when you read, I really enjoy the notes and need them!
