Please Pray for Surgery Day-- Tomorrow August 14th

     I just wanted to remind everyone that surgery is scheduled for tomorrow.

     Dani and Cordelia are both undergoing final testing, blood matches, x-rays and scans today to verify their compatibility and get them ready for tomorrow.

     They all seem to be holding up well. Dani's mom and dad are on their way today, as are my parents and sister.

     Pastor Steve and his wife from Faith Fellowship in Clarence (Cliff and Dani's church) are coming in for the surgery as well.

     My parents, sister and Cliff will be sending me frequent updates throughout the day and I will be posting relevant updates on here as I get them, so please check in frequently throughout the day.

     The expected timeline will be:

     5:30 a.m. Dani will be taken into surgery to be prepped...I'm not sure precisely when surgery will start thereafter, but once it formally begins it is expected to be 6-8 hours, so we're hoping they'll be done somewhere between 12-2p.m.

     6:00 a.m. Cordelia will be prepped for surgery in a surgical room right next door. There will be some overlap in the surgeries...as soon as the portion of Dani's liver is available it will be taken next door and given to the surgeon's performing Cordelia's surgery. They are hoping her surgery will be complete late afternoon/early evening (around 5-6 p.m.).


     We will all be praying fervently tomorrow-- for protection for Dani and Cordelia, for wisdom for the doctors, as well as clarity of mind, steady hands and all of the details they need to be present for good surgeries, for peace of mind and heart for all of the family members who will be waiting-- Cliff in particular and both sets of grandparents-- Cliff and Dani's parents (who will all be at the hospital waiting).

     Thank you all. Please pass this on to all of the prayer warriors in your life as well and ask them to be flooding the heavens with prayers for this family tomorrow.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God that passeth all understanding will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
