It's Showtime

Today is the first introductory session into Paul's adventure in losing his yellowness. We got him to St. Joseph's and I helped him get into his lovey attire of white hair bonnet resembling a shower cap(very fetching) , white socks with little paw prints on them, and a smashing blue wrap-around gown with opening in back. Hospital couture.
After getting appropriately stuck with needles and tubes with bags attached, he was wheeled off to surgeryland. We are currently in the hospital waiting area. We have claimed a number of chairs and tables and such to stake out our territory of Coopers and friends and whoever wants to join the family. Please understand I must be silly as it helps to calm the butterflies inside me. We were give a beeper much like those we all get at restaurants. We have gotten a call from one of the attending nurses in the operating room to say that they had started the surgery and he was doing fine. How cool is that?
It is 2:45 and we arrived at the hospital at 9:45 this morning. The waiting game has begun and we have so much support and love around us. What more could we ask for except 2 things that I can think of at the moment. One is that Paul will come out the other side of all of his yellowness to tell of his adventures "behind the operating room door" . The other is that the pollen will be gone from Atlanta soon. NO MORE YELLOW - YIPPIEEEEEEE!
We are feeling the love coming our way from all of you and I love the fact that Ashley let me hijack her mac to enter this.
Love and kisses to you all and a big fat hug as well,
Cathy
