Emily has surgery tomorrow

Please pray the doctor can set Emily's arm without using pins. He will put her to sleep with an IV and then set her arm. Then he will take an x-ray to make sure he is satisfied with the set. If so, they cast it while she is still asleep and she will get to leave about an hour after the surgery. If not, he will need to cut in and insert the pin so that he is satisfied with it.

Oh, and Emily can't eat after tonight at midnight. Anybody who has ever been around Emily in the morning knows how improtant breakfast is to her. This could be rough! I'm thinking Scott and I will keep her up late tonight with lots of protein-rich snacks, and then hopefully she will sleep in late tomorrow morning to lesson the hunger pains.

I'm so sorry to hear about Emily's arm. I'll be praying for her, the doctor, you, and Scott tomorrow.

So sorry Malisa. I hope it goes well and no pins are needed.

Ugh. So apparently the surgeon mixed up the date in his head. He thought today was Thursday. Emily's actual surgery is scheduled for tomorrow (thursday!) at noon. We'll keep you posted on what happens. Pray for no pin needed!
