I would just like to say at the onset that I am not the one being flaky here....Shortly after attending surgeon #1 left with his team, attending surgeon #2 showed up. He's the one who has done most of Benjamin's surgical care.  He was very definite that we needed to take care of this today and within the hour, we were on the way to the OR where he is now.  He said if everything goes perfect, it will be about 1 1/2 hours.  Thanks for praying that the problem will be quickly identified and easily fixed.  Also a very rapid recovery would be nice as life at home was pretty challenging already with 2 parents there.  Now Larry is having to cope with alot there during the day/evening and work at night.  We really want him to stay well too.  Thankfully Molly had Krissy all ready for school when Larry arrived home from work, so they took right off with her, dropping Jamie off on the way.  Larry said there was absolutely no problem with her going to her class (thank you God) and her TA will ride the bus home with her this afternoon.  Jamie will then watch her until Larry gets up.  We're very thankful for our friend Malana who is able to take David back and forth to rehearsals this week....these are up in Washougal, so it's quite a drive and I'm not sure how we would be able to manage that.

I'll let you all know later what they've found and how Benjamin is doing.  Thanks for your prayers for our family.

Love janelle
