Tomorrow at 11:30 am Maya will have her adenoids (thanks mom for pointing out the correct spelling!) and a cyst removed. We feel very fortunate to be able to have this done at a Children's Hospital, which has so far been a wonderful experience.
We went to "Surgery Class" last week, where the kids got to watch a puppet show about what was going to happen. Then the kids got to go into one room where they tried on the anesthesia masks and even choose a flavor of chapstick to color the inside with so that it would smell good! During this time a nurse talked to the parents and told us about every detail of the day. At the end we all went on a tour of the hospital and got to see where we'll check in, where we'll wait, the room she'll recover in, etc. She and I also went on a shopping trip to get special post-surgery treats this week. We've got a fridge stocked with juices, popsicles, Jell-O, ice cream and even a special cup. They say she'll need to drink a ton of liquids but won't want to, so we're hoping these items will help.
I'll do my best to post tomorrow or Saturday to let you know how things went. In the meantime, keep us in your prayers!

I will be thinking of all of you tomorrow--especially Mom and Dad! Having a kid in the hospital is so tough, but I'm hopeful that it will go smoothly and have good results (sleep! sleep! sleep!). Love you all!
Thinking about you guys. Best of luck!
